And the hand of the children of Israel, prospered and
prevailed against Jabin, the king of Canaan
They continued their wars with him, in which they were successful:

until they had destroyed Jabin, king of Canaan;
took him, and put him to death, and took his cities, and destroyed the inhabitants of them, and so acted more agreeably to the declared will of God, that they should not spare the Canaanites, but destroy them.
