What does the narration of Jael's murder of Sisera have in common with that of Ehud's murder of Eglon?
The narration in each case has each movement described carefully. As Ehud’s manipulation of Eglon and his courtiers serves to satirize Eglon and his men for their gullibility, so Jael’s manipulation of Sisera by means of verbal ambiguity satirizes him for his gullibility. Ehud thrusts…his sword into Eglon’s belly; Jael drives…her tent peg…into Sisera’s head.

21 Jaël, femme de Héber, saisit un pieu de la tente, prit en main le marteau, s'approcha de lui doucement, et lui enfonça dans la tempe le pieu, qui pénétra en terre. Il était profondément endormi et accablé de fatigue; et il mourut.
