Contextual Overview
24 Jael was the wife of Heber the Kenite. She will be blessed above all women. 25 Sisera asked for water. Jael gave him milk. In a bowl fit for a ruler, she brought him cream. 26 Then Jael reached out and took a tent peg. Her right hand reached for a workman's hammer. She put the peg against the side of Sisera's head and hit it with the hammer. 27 He sank down between Jael's feet. He fell, and there he lay. He sank down between her feet. He fell there. Where Sisera sank, he fell, and there he lay, dead! 28 "There is Sisera's mother, looking out the window, looking through the curtains and crying. ‘Why is Sisera's chariot so late? Why can't I hear his wagons?' 29 "Her wisest servant girl answers her. Yes, the servant gives her an answer: 30 ‘I'm sure they won the war, and they are now taking things from the people they defeated. They are dividing those things among themselves. Each soldier is taking a girl or two. Maybe Sisera found a piece of dyed cloth. That's it! Sisera found a piece of fancy cloth, or maybe two, to wear around his neck in victory.' 31 "May all your enemies die like this, Lord ! But may all those who love you be as strong as the rising sun!" And there was peace in the land for 40 years.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ver. 27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down,.... Perhaps at her first approach to him, and attempt to drive the nail, or at the blow she gave, he rose up, but she had done the business so effectually at the first stroke, that he dropped at once, and laid down his head again:
at her feet he bowed, he fell; when she redoubled her blow:
where he bowed, there he fell down dead; and struggled and stirred no more; thus ingloriously did this general of a vast army die. This action is not otherwise to be justified, but by its being done through an impulse of the Spirit of God upon her, to take away the life of an implacable enemy of God's people; otherwise it might seem to be a breach of hospitality towards her guest she had invited in, and of the peace which subsisted between this general's prince and her husband; and therefore is not to be drawn into an example where there is no appearance of a divine warrant.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 5:27. At her feet he bowed — ××× ×¨×××× bein ragleyha, "between her feet." After having stunned him she probably sat down, for the greater convenience of driving the nail through his temples.
He bowed - he fell — He probably made some struggles after he received the blow on the head, but could not recover his feet.
AEschylus represents Agamemnon rising, staggering, and finally falling, under the blows of Clytemnestra. - Agam. v. 1384.
