Judges 4:24

22 When Barak arrived in pursuit of Sisera, Jael went out to greet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man you are seeking.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera dead, with a tent peg through his temple.

23 On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.

And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him.
