And now it was that the Israelites, taking no warning by their former
misfortunes to amend their manners, and neither worshipping God nor submitting
to the laws, were brought under slavery by Jabin, the king of the Canaanites,
and that before they had a short breathing time after the slavery under
the Moabites; for this Jabin out of Hazor, a city that was situate over
the Semechonitis, and had in pay three hundred footmen, and ten thousand
horsemen, with fewer than three thousand chariots. Sisera was commander
of all his army, and was the principal person in the king's favor. He so
sorely beat the Israelites when they fought with him, that he ordered them
to pay tribute.
