1. Jabin, Canaanite king — Proper name Yavin (יָבִין), a title or name borne by Canaanite kings of Hazor defeated by Israel (Josh 11:1; Judg 4:2); the bare form and the prepositional ke- ('like Jabin') both denote the same royal figure. Translations are consistent: Spanish Jabín/Yavín, Hindi याबीन, Arabic يابينَ, Korean 야빈, Swahili Yabini — uniformly rendering this proper noun with only grammatical case variation. 8×
