in the dark and distant dawn of years
people of the book
you are mine to the harrow
your dying will make the desert bloom
where is your god now
these words
mark them well
sisera
as the stars fell
you are mine to the harrow
your dying will make the desert bloom
where is your god now
these words
mark them well
sisera
as the stars fell

That's good, James. I always found the story of Jael horrifying, though she was hailed as a heroine. Probably it was because I saw a copy of the James Tissot painting of the scene. It looks like it's the moment before Jael's pale blue and white clothes are covered in the Sisera's blood.
But then again, Sisera himself was so full of himself even after the rout as to think that he deserved that lordly welcome.
You should Judith beheading Holofernes.
My version of it I mean.
Now that's horror.
