1. Captain of the army of Jabin king of the northern Canaanites. His army was overthrown with great destruction, through God's intervention, by Deborah and Barak. Sisera, thirsty and weary, sought shelter in the tent of Jael, who killed him with a tent peg driven through his head with a hammer showing how God can energise a feeble instrument to work out His deliverance. See JAEL. Judges 4:2-22; Judges 5:20-31; 1 Samuel 12:9; Psalm 83:9 .
2. Ancestor of some Nethinim who returned from exile. Ezra 2:53; Nehemiah 7:55 .
