This story has always been so interesting! Just curious why you say he was awake when Jael drove the peg into his skull when verse 21 clearly says "Then she went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple until it went down into the ground while he was lying fast asleep from weariness." It also mentions twice that she covered him, whether that is a rug, blanket, coat we do not know. Thoughts?
