hammer in Judges 4
HAM-er
This thing shows up in Judges 4:21: “Then Jael Heber’s wife took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Judges 4:21
“Then Jael Heber’s wife took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he fainted and died.”
What kids can learn
When you hear hammer in Judges, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Judges 4:21 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
