The Canaanite king of Hazor whose general Sisera was defeated by Barak and Deborah at the Kishon River
Two Canaanite kings of Hazor named Jabin appear in Scripture. The first was the head of the northern coalition Joshua defeated at the Waters of Merom (Joshua 11:1-11) — Joshua burned Hazor and killed its king. The second Jabin reigned a century or more later during the apostasy of Israel: "And the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera" (Judges 4:2). His oppressive twenty-year reign with nine hundred iron chariots ended when Deborah summoned Barak from Kedesh-naphtali to assemble ten thousand troops on Mount Tabor and crush Sisera at the Kishon.
