Jabin
A royal title for Canaanite kings of Hazor who oppressed the Israelites during the conquest and the judges era.
Jabin is a dynastic title for the kings of Hazor, a major Canaanite city-state. The first Jabin led a northern coalition against Joshua, while the second Jabin oppressed Israel for twenty years until defeated by Deborah and Barak.
