Hazor was in the tribe of Naphtali (<span class='bible'>Jos. 19:36<\/span>), and overlooked the waters of Merom (Jos., <em>Antt. <\/em>v. 5,  1). We find from Egyptian inscriptions of Barneses II., &amp;c., that it was a flourishing town in very ancient days. Owing to its importance, it was fortified by Solomon (<span class='bible'>1Ki. 9:15<\/span>). Its inhabitants were taken captive by Tiglath-pileser (<span class='bible'>2Ki. 15:29<\/span>); and it is last mentioned in 1Ma. 9:27. (Comp. Jos., <em>Antt. xiii.<\/em> 5,  7.) De Saulcy discovered large and ancient ruins to the north of Merom, which he identifies with this town. The Bishop of Bath and Wells (Lord A. Hervey <em>On the Genealogies, <\/em>p. 28) has pointed out the strange resemblance between the circumstances of this defeat and that recorded in <span class='bible'>Joshua 11<\/span>. In both we have a Jabin, king of Hazor; in both there are subordinate kings (<span class='bible'>Jdg. 5:19<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Jos. 11:1<\/span>); in both chariots are prominent, which, as we conjecture from <span class='bible'>Jos. 11:8<\/span>, were burnt at Misrephoth-maim (burnings by the waters); and in both the general outline of circumstances is the same, and the same names occur in the list of conquered kings (<span class='bible'>Jos. 11:21-22<\/span>). This seems to be the reason why Josephus, in his account of the earlier event (<em>Antt. v.<\/em> 1,  18), does not mention either Jabin or Hazor, though strangely enough he says, in both instances, with his usual tendency to exaggeration, that the Canaanites had 300,000 foot, 10,000 horse, and 3,000 chariots. It is again a curious, though it may be an unimportant circumstance, that in <span class='bible'>1Sa. 12:9<\/span> the prophet mentions Sisera <em>before <\/em>Eglon. Of course, if the received view of the chronology be correct, we must make the not impossible supposition, that in the century and a half which is supposed to have elapsed since the death of Joshua, Hazor had risen from its obliteration and its ashes (<span class='bible'>Jos. 11:11<\/span>; Jos., <em>Antt. v.<\/em> 5,  4), under a new Canaanite settlement, governed by a king who adopted the old dynastic name. If, on the other hand, there are chronological indications that the whole period of the Judges must be greatly shortened, we may perhaps suppose that the armies of Joshua and Barak combined the full strength of the central and northern tribes in an attack from different directions, which ended in a common victory. In that case, the different tribal records can only have dwelt on that part of the victory in which they were themselves concerned. It is remarkable that even so conservative a critic as Bishop Wordsworth holds that some of the judges of Israel were only judges of portions of Canaan, and that the years run parallel to those of other judges in other districts of the same country. If there are difficulties in whatever scheme of chronology we adopt, we must remember the antiquity and the fragmentary nature of the records, which were written with other and far higher views than that of furnishing us with an elaborate consecutive history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The captain of whose host.<\/strong>In Eastern narratives it is common for the king to play a very subordinate personal part. In the last campaign of Crsus we hear much more of Surenas, the general of the Parthians, than of Orodes (Arsaces, 14).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sisera.<\/strong>The name long lingered among the Israelites. It occurs again in <span class='bible'>Ezr. 2:53<\/span>, as the name of the founder of a family of Nethinim (minor servants of the Levites, of Canaanite origin, <span class='bible'>2 Samuel 21<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Ezr. 2:43<\/span>; <span class='bible'>1Ch. 9:2<\/span>); and in the strange fashion which prevailed among some of the Rabbis of claiming a foreign descent, the great Rabbi Akhivah professed to be descended from Sisera.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harosheth.<\/strong>The name means wood-cutting.

It was an ingenious and not improbable conjecture of the late Dr. Donaldson, that the town was named from the fact that Sisera made the subject Israelites serve as hewers of wood in the cedar-woods and fir-woods of Lebanon. The site of Harosheth has been precariously identified with <em>Harstheh, <\/em>a hill on the south-east of the plain of Akka.

He had taken advantage of Israel&rsquo;s many oppressions, and gradually strengthened his power in the north, and enlarged his kingdom, until he could send into the field a vast army with nearly a thousand iron chariots. <span class='bible'>Jdg 4:3<\/span>. Having reduced all Israel to the most servile subjection, he was virtually ruler of the whole land, and called <strong> king of Canaan<\/strong>. The name <strong> Jabin <\/strong> was probably a royal title of the kings that <strong> reigned in Hazor<\/strong>. On this capital, see note at <span class='bible'>Jos 11:1<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p><strong> Captain Sisera <\/strong> Jabin, like Abimelech, (<span class='bible'>Gen 21:22<\/span>,) had a <strong> captain<\/strong>, or general, to command his army.

Archaeology tells us that it had been there since the third millennium BC and in the second millennium was extended by the building of a lower city. At this stage it would have about forty thousand inhabitants, a large city indeed. The lower city contained a Canaanite temple and a small shrine. It was referred to regularly throughout the centuries, by Egypt, Mari and Babylon, as an important political centre, and its ruler was given the title &lsquo;Great King&rsquo; (sarrum), a status above that usually conferred on rulers of city states. <\/p>\n<p> A previous king Jabin had ruled over this area in the time of Joshua, and had led a confederacy against Joshua and had been defeated and slain (<span class='bible'>Jos 11:1-15<\/span>). (This Jabin was probably his grandson or great-grandson). That was the first occasion when Israel had won a great victory over chariots. And Hazor was then burned and what remained of its inhabitants put to the sword. The lower city was destroyed by Joshua and not later rebuilt. But many of the warriors had inevitably escaped, and it is probable that some refugees had fled from Hazor before he returned, and they would repopulate the city. &lsquo;Smote them until none remained&rsquo; and &lsquo;utterly destroyed them&rsquo; refer to what Israel did with those they caught, in obedience to Yahweh&rsquo;s commandments. <\/p>\n<p> As Joshua was not in a position to occupy it, which is why he burned it as a major Canaanite threat, upper Hazor (but not lower Hazor) was rebuilt. Good sites were too valuable not to be re-used. So at this time it had been re-established and was now under another Jabin. This may have been a throne name or simply a family name re-used. No doubt Hazor was still &lsquo;the head of the kingdoms&rsquo; (<span class='bible'>Jos 11:10<\/span>), the centre of a confederation of cities. <\/p>\n<p><strong> &ldquo;The captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Nations.&rdquo;<\/strong> Jabin maintained a standing army and again ruled, not only over Hazor, but probably as overlord over a number of other cities in a confederacy. His general was named Sisera. Sisera&rsquo;s name is possibly Illyrian and it would seem he was a petty king of Harosheth of the Nations, whose site is unknown. Its name may have arisen from its cosmopolitan population or from the fact that it was populated with foreign mercenaries. Sisera himself may have been a foreign mercenary. <\/p>\n<p><strong> &ldquo;Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin.&rdquo;<\/strong> Jabin had grown powerful and was seeking to extend his empire. In this way northern parts of the tribal confederacy west of Jordan became subject to him, and became his &lsquo;servants&rsquo;. They were &lsquo;sold&rsquo; into his hand by Yahweh, handed over as slaves. This would involve heavy tribute and probably heavy taskwork (&lsquo;he mightily oppressed&rsquo; &#8211; <span class='bible'>Jdg 4:3<\/span>). <\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Commentary Series on the Bible by Peter Pett<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><strong><em><span class='bible'>Jdg 4:2<\/span><\/em><\/strong><strong>. <\/strong><strong><em>Jabin, king of Canaan<\/em><\/strong><strong><\/strong> <em>Canaan <\/em>here means the Canaanites properly so called.
