Answer: Hammered a tent-peg through his skull
Sisera had fled the battle when it turned against him and arrived at Heber's tent exhausted. Jael took him in, gave him a drink of milk and covered him with a rug. Sisera asked her to stand watch and fell asleep. While he slept, she seized the opportunity and "Jael the wife of Heber took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand. 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. So he died" (Judges 4 v 21 ESV).

Answer: Not long after the death of Joshua
"And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel" (Judges 2:7). However, after the death of Joshua, and after his generation passes away, a new generation that did not see the wonders of the Exodus arises, and the people begin to serve other gods. God leaves them to their own devices and own self-inflicted sufferings, intermittently showing his mercy by raising up judges to deliver them from their oppressors.
