King of Zobah in Syria, 2 Samuel 8:3. It should seem that the name is derived from Rachab, breadth. There was also a Rehob among the captives of Israel which returned from Babylon, Nehemiah 10:11. And there was a city of Asher called Rehob, bordering upon Syria, on the road to Hamath. See Joshua 19:28; Numbers 13:11. The Syrians called it Bethrehob. See 2 Samuel 10:6.
