2. A Canaanite king who reigned in Hazor (Judg 4:2) and oppressed the tribes of Israel in that area for 20 years (Judg 4:3). A coalition of the northern tribes under the command of Deborah and Barak defeated his forces at the River Kishon. Jabin's commander-in-chief Sisera, was subsequently killed by Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite (Judg 4:21).
