The verse tells us that Chever was a descendant of Yitro (also called Chovav) the father- in-law of Moshe whose family had converted to Judaism and who were living in the area of Jericho and then in the Judaean desert.2 Chever, however, separated himself from them and camped near Kedesh and aligned himself with the Canaanite king, Yavin, even thought he was oppressing the Jewish people. As the Targum Yonatan writes,10 “Yael (who is) the wife of the peaceful Chever who serves (him) in the Beit HaMidrash (study hall) should be blessed It is also noteworthy that the expression ‫ אֵ שֶׁ ת חָ בֵ ר‬which, in Rabbinic literature,11 refers to the wife of a Torah scholar, is first used (in the Tanach) albeit with different vowels, to refer to Yael who is called ‫אֵ שֶׁ ת חֶׁ בֶׁ ר הַ קֵ ינִ י‬.12 The Name of G-d is Upon Her The verse says that Yael covered Sisra with a ‫שְּׂ מִ יכָ ָֽ ה‬. 15 Shoftim 5:27 ‫בֵ ֵּ֤ ין ַרגְּׂ לֶׁ יהָ֙ ָ כָּרַ֣ע נָּפַ֖ ל שָּ כָּ ָ֑ב ֵבֶׁ֣ ין ַרגְּׂ לֶֶׁ֔ יהָ כָּרַ֥ע נָּפַ֔ ָּ ל בַ אֲ שֶׁ ֶׁ֣ ר כָּרַ֔ ע שָ ָׁ֖ ם נָפַ ַ֥ ל שָ ָֽדּוד‬, - At her feet he bowed, fell [and] slept, At her feet he bowed, fell; Where he bowed, there he fell—destroyed.
