Judges 4:2

Deborah

1 When Ehud was dead, ^athe children of Israel again did ^bevil in the sight of the Lord.

2 So the Lord ^asold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in ^bHazor. The commander of his army was ^cSisera, who dwelt in ^dHarosheth Hagoyim.

3 And the children of Israel cried out to the Lord; for Jabin had nine hundred ^achariots of iron, and for twenty years ^bhe had harshly oppressed the children of Israel.

4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

5 ^aAnd she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

Judges 4:2

Jabin king of Canaan - Probably a descendant of the Jabin mentioned Joshua 11:1, etc., who had gathered together the wrecks of the army of that Jabin defeated by Joshua. Calmet supposes that these Canaanites had the dominion over the tribes of Naphtali, Zebulun, and Issachar; while Deborah judged in Ephraim, and Shamgar in Judah.
