Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 4:2-3

_ _ Jabin king of Canaan — “Jabin,” a royal title (see on Joshua 11:1). The second Jabin built a new capital on the ruins of the old (Joshua 11:10, Joshua 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.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 4:1-3.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 4:2

Of Canaan — That is, of the land where most of the Canaanites, strictly so called, now dwelt, which seems to be in the northern part of Canaan. This seems to be of the posterity of that Jabin, whom Joshua slew, Joshua 11:11, who watched all opportunities to recover his ancient possessions, and to revenge his own and his father's quarrel. In Hazor — In the territory or the kingdom of Hazor, which might now be restored to its former largeness and power. Of the Gentiles — So called, because it was much frequented and inhabited by the Gentiles; either by the Canaanites, who being beaten out of their former possessions, seated themselves in those northern parts; or by other nations coming there for traffick, whence Galilee, where this was, is called Galilee of the Gentiles.
