Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Come, my lord, come right in. Don’t be afraid.” So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket. “I’m thirsty,” he said. “Please give me some water.” She opened a skin of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him up."Stand in the doorway of the tent," he told her. "If someone comes by and asks you, 'Is anyone in there?' say 'No.'"But Jael, Heber's wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died. (Judges 4:18-21)
From the above passage it's crystal clear SISERA WAS FAST ASLEEP WHEN HE GOT KILLED! But the same book the very next chapter tells us SISERA WAS AWAKE STANDING WHEN HE GOT KILLED?
------------
He asked for water, and she gave him milk; in a bowl fit for nobles she brought him curdled milk. Her hand reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman's hammer. She struck Sisera, she crushed his head, she shattered and pierced his temple. At her feet he sank, he fell; there he lay where he sank, there he fell--dead. (Judges 5:25-27)
The above passage is clear SISERA WAS AWAKE NOT SLEEPING UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER. Notice how the scene changes depending which chapter you read. Chapter 4 he asks for mil and falls asleep. Chapter 5 he askes her for water and no mention of him falling asleep
Another biblical blunder, how does one rectify this super discrepancy!
SHAME SHAME
