In line 988 of Milton's Samson Agonistes Delilah compares the betrayal of her husband with Jael's murderous hospitality, both acts committed "to save her country from a fierce destroyer". Asat ( talk) 05:22, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
The main Wikipedia page says, "She drove it through his temples with such force that it entered into the ground below," but that is not what the Bible says. [1] says, "Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and drove the peg into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died."
Although the Bible says that Jael drove the tent peg into his temples and also says she fastened the tent peg to the ground, it does not say that these two actions are one. In fact, the next chapter ( [2]) says clearly that "at her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead." You can't fall down dead if you are killed while lying on the ground.

...and we should move the article there. This would help avoid the disam page too - most other people have "Yael" in their name. Johnbod ( talk) 04:18, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Surely that would be German spelling, in order to achieve the correct phonetic pronounciation. In English it can only be spelt Yael otherwise the J becomes hard (like Joker or Justin), which isn't the name. The name is Yael (or in phonetical purism Ya'el, because of the Hebrew 'ayin letter which is a guttural consonant). Monosig ( talk) 12:45, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
