- Start — Judges 4:2. The year Jabin's oppression of Israel began is the year Ehud (raised up by the LORD as a deliverer for…)'s time as judge ended (2659) - 10 years = 2649
- End — Judges 4:3. The year Jabin's oppression ended is the year he began to oppress Israel (2749) + the years of his oppression (20) = 2769
