Did Jael violate any ethics on hospitality when she drove a tent peg through the head of sleeping Sisera?
Was she a good woman?
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=judges%204:17-22;&version=49;
Jael certainly did violate the normative customs of hospitality by driving a tent peg through the skull of a man to whom she had given a skin of milk and welcomed to rest in her tent. Sisera’s wickedness, however, justified Jael’s killing him, despite this.
What Jael did could be considered cowardly, but a woman is not bad for employing guile against a warrior. Judith is praised for more extreme deception.
