23 And God raised up another adversary against him, Rezon the son of Eliadah, who had fled from his lord, aHadadezer king of Zobah.
24 So he gathered men to him and became captain over a band of raiders, awhen David killed those of Zobah. And they went to Damascus and dwelt there, and reigned in Damascus.
25 He was an adversary of Israel all the days of Solomon (besides the trouble that Hadad caused); and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
