Jabin king of Canaan - “Jabin,” a royal title (see on Jos 11:1). The second Jabin built a new capital on the ruins of the old (Jos 11:10, Jos 11:11). The northern Canaanites had recovered from the effect of their disastrous overthrow in the time of Joshua, and now triumphed in their turn over Israel. This was the severest oppression to which Israel had been subjected. But it fell heaviest on the tribes in the north, and it was not till after a grinding servitude of twenty years that they were awakened to view it as the punishment of their sins and to seek deliverance from God.
