Jael (
Hebrew Ja'el, יעל, the Hebrew name of the
Nubian Ibex) is a character mentioned in the
Book of Judges in the
Hebrew Bible, as the
heroine who killed
Sisera to deliver Israel from the troops of king
Jabin. She was the wife of
Heber the
Kenite. God told
Deborah (a prophetess and leader) that he would deliver Israel from Jabin. Deborah called
Barak to make up an army to lead into battle against Jabin on the plain of
Esdraelon. But Barak demanded that Deborah would accompany him into the battle. Deborah agreed but prophesied that the honour of the killing of the other army's captain would be given to a woman. Jabin's army was led by Sisera (Judg. 4:2), who fled the battle after all was lost.
