Usage: Jabin is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to two Canaanite kings.

Context: • Jabin, King of Hazor: Jabin is first mentioned as the king of Hazor, a prominent Canaanite city, during the time of Joshua. He led a coalition of northern kings against Israel. In Joshua 11:1-11, Jabin is defeated by Joshua, who captures and burns Hazor, killing its king. This event marks a significant victory for the Israelites in their conquest of Canaan.
• Jabin, King of Canaan: A later Jabin, also referred to as the king of Canaan, reigned in Hazor during the time of the Judges. This Jabin oppressed the Israelites for twenty years. His military commander, Sisera, was defeated by the Israelite forces led by Deborah and Barak, as recorded in Judges 4:2-24. The defeat of Sisera and the subsequent death of Jabin brought peace to the land for a time.
• Biblical Significance: The accounts of Jabin highlight the recurring theme of Israel's struggle against Canaanite powers and God's deliverance of His people through divinely appointed leaders. The victories over Jabin's forces are seen as acts of divine intervention and fulfillment of God's promises to Israel.
