Meaning: breadth; space; extent · Male · 2 cross references
Rehob is the father of Hadadezer in the Aramean royal world encountered by David. He appears through the dynastic background of one of David's significant northern opponents. First appears in 2 Sam 8:3.1
AI summary: Rehob matters because his cross references place his house behind Hadadezer, a ruler whose defeat helps define David's expanding power among the surrounding nations. Though Rehob himself is not the battlefield figure, his name anchors that opposition in a recognized royal line. Taken together, the material presents Rehob as the paternal source of an important enemy kingdom in David's wars.1
