Endnote 13 – Voices from Hazor

“Ibni” is similar in derivation to “Jabin,” the name of the Biblical king who ruled over Hazor about 500 years later, in the days of Joshua (Joshua 11:1). The name may have been passed down by Hazor’s rulers for hundreds of years. See “Babylonian Tablet Confirms Biblical Name,” BAR 20:05.
