This Zoar entry refers to the king of Bela in Genesis 14, not to the city of the same name more familiar in Lot's story. It appears in one of the Bible's earliest coalition-war narratives. First appears in Gen 14:2.1
AI summary: This Zoar matters because his cross references place him among the local rulers swept into the conflict that later draws Abram into battle. The entry's significance lies in showing how personal rulership and place identity overlap in the patriarchal war account. Taken together, the material presents this Zoar as the ruler associated with one of the cities caught up in the Genesis 14 campaign.1
