Jabin ("the Intelligent"), which seems to have been a hereditary title (Jud 4:2), took the lead, from Hazor being the capital of the northern region (Jos 11:10).

- 1 Chronicles 18:4
David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 18:42 voices
In 2Sa 8:4 David is said to have taken seven hundred horsemen, whereas here it is said that he took seven thousand.
