discerner; the wise.
(1) A king of Hazor, at the
time of the entrance of Israel
into Canaan ( Joshua
11:1 - 14
), whose overthrow and that
of the northern chief with whom
he had entered into a confederacy
against Joshua was the crowning
act in the conquest of the land
( Joshua
11:21 - 23
; comp Joshua
14:6 - 15
). This great battle, fought
at Lake Merom, was the last
of Joshua's battles of which
we have any record. Here for
the first time the Israelites
encountered the iron chariots
and horses of the Canaanites.
(2) Another king of Hazor, called
"the king of Canaan," who overpowered
the Israelites of the north
one hundred and sixty years
after Joshua's death, and for
twenty years held them in painful
subjection. The whole population
were paralyzed with fear, and
gave way to hopeless despondency
( Judges
5:6 - 11
), till Deborah and Barak aroused
the national spirit, and gathering
together ten thousand men, gained
a great and decisive victory
over Jabin in the plain of Esdraelon
( Judges
4:10 - 16
; Compare Psalms
83:9 ). This was the first
great victory Israel had gained
since the days of Joshua. They
never needed to fight another
battle with the Canaanites (
Judges
5:31 ).

(whom God observes)
(1) King of Hazor, who
organized a confederacy of the
northern princes against the
Israelites. ( Joshua
11:1 - 3
) Joshua surprised the allied
forces by the waters of Merom,
ver. 7, and utterly routed them.
(B.C. 1448.) During the ensuing
wars Joshua again attacked Jabin,
and burnt his city. ( Joshua
11:1 - 14
)
(2) A king of Hazor, whose general,
Sisera, was defeated by Barak.
( Judges
4:2 , 4:13
) (B.C. 1316.)

ja'-bin (yabhin, "one who is
intelligent," "discerning."
The word may have been a hereditary
royal title among the northern
Canaanites. Compare the familiar
usage of par`oh melekh mitsrayim):
(1) "The king of Hazor," the
leading city in Northern Palestine,
who led an alliance against
Joshua. He was defeated at the
waters of Merom, his city was
taken and he was slain (Joshua
11:1 - 9).
(2) "The king of Canaan, that
reigned (or had reigned) in
Hazor." It is not clear whether
he dwelt in Hazor or Harosheth,
the home of Sisera, the captain
of his host at the time of the
story narrated in Jgs. He oppressed
Israel in the days preceding
the victory of Deborah and Barak.
To the Israelites he must have
been but a shadowy figure as
compared with his powerful captain,
Sisera, for the song makes no
mention of him and there is
nothing to indicate that he
even took part in the battle
that freed Israel (Judges
4:2 , 7
, 17
, 23
, 24
bis; Psalms
83:9 , 10).
