SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:23
Y aquel día sujetó Dios a Jabín, rey de Canaán, delante de los hijos de Israel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. So God subdued on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the children, of Israel .] Freed Israel from subjection to him and delivered him into the hands of the Israelites; for Josephus says, that as Barak went towards Hazor, he met Jabin, and slew him; who perhaps having heard of the defeat of his army under Sisera, came forth with another against Israel, which being overcome by them, he was slain, and the city utterly destroyed, as the same writer says; but by what follows it seems rather that the total conquest of him was afterwards and gradually accomplished.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-24 - Sisera's chariots had been his pride and his confidence. Thus are thos disappointed who rest on the creature; like a broken reed, it not onl breaks under them, but pierces them with many sorrows. The idol ma quickly become a burden, Isa 46:1; what we were sick for, God can make us sick of. It is probable that Jael really intended kindness to Sisera; but by a Divine impulse she was afterwards led to consider his as the determined enemy of the Lord and of his people, and to destro him. All our connexions with God's enemies must be broken off, if we would have the Lord for our God, and his people for our people. He tha had thought to have destroyed Israel with his many iron chariots, in himself destroyed with one iron nail. Thus the weak things of the worl confound the mighty. The Israelites would have prevented much mischief if they had sooner destroyed the Canaanites, as God commanded an enabled them: but better be wise late, and buy wisdom by experience than never be wise __________________________________________________________________
