Hadadezer ben Rehob

Hadadezer bar Rehob
King of Zobah

Hadadezer (Biblical Hebrew: הדדעזר, romanized: Ḥăḏaḏʿezer, lit. 'Hadad helps';), son of Rehob, was king of Zobah or Sova (Imperial Aramaic Ṣoḇā), a Syrian kingdom that may have been in the Beqaa Valley (now in Lebanon), extended along the eastern side of the Anti-Lebanon mountains, reaching Hama to the north. Zobah exercised power throughout southern Syria and inevitably clashed with the expanding empire of Israel.
