Why does Jael cover Sisera with a rug?

Judges 4:18 (ESV)

18 And Jael came out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Turn aside, my lord; turn aside to me; do not be afraid.” So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.

She covers him with a rug, or a blanket, so that anyone who would look in would not see him.
