What does Jael's cunning recall?

Judges 5:25 (ESV)

25 He asked for water and she gave him milk; she brought him curds in a noble’s bowl.

Deborah lauds Jael for her cunning that put her in a similar category as Ehud. Sisera had asked for water, Jael gave him milk, or curds, in a noble’s bowl. And then, instead of being a left-handed assassin like Ehud, she did her work with her right hand. But the end result for the enemy is the same as in chapter 3: dead on the ground.
