Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Jabin in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text.

Usage: The name "Jabin" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to two different Canaanite kings. The name itself suggests a person of understanding or discernment, which may reflect the perceived wisdom or strategic prowess of these rulers.

Cultural and Historical Background: Jabin is a name associated with Canaanite royalty during the period of the Judges in Israel's history. The first Jabin mentioned in the Bible is the king of Hazor, a significant Canaanite city-state in northern Canaan. Hazor was a major military and economic center, and its king wielded considerable influence over the region. The second Jabin, also a king of Hazor, is mentioned in the context of the Israelite conquest under Joshua and later during the time of the judges.
