Why Was Jael Blessed?

The mother expects her son to be able to sexually violate captive women; instead, he has become a woman's captive, and she has left him despoiled. Taking as Sisera's intent his mother's statement about womb-captives, by killing Sisera, Jael has prevented the rape of Israelite women.
