SCRIPTURE

"And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan." — Judges 4:24 (ASV)

See the margin. The meaning is that Barak’s great victory was the beginning of a successful resistance to Jabin, by which the Israelites recovered their independence and finally broke the Canaanite power. Accordingly, we hear no more of Canaanite domination in the Book of Judges.
