And when:
"And Godª stirred him upª ° [another] adversary,ª ¹ Rezonª the sonª of Eliadah,ª which¹ fledª ° from¹ ¹ his lordª Hadadezerª kingª of Zobah:ª ... And he was¹ an adversaryª to Israelª all¹ the daysª of Solomon,ª beside¹ the mischiefª that¹ Hadadª [did]: and he abhorredª ° Israel,ª and reignedª ° over¹ Syria.ª" {1Kg 11:23-25} + "And when the Syriansª of Damascusª cameª ° to helpª ° Hadarezerª kingª of Zobah,ª Davidª slewª ° of the Syriansª twoª and twentyª thousandª men.ª ...

"[If] Godª will not¹ withdrawª ° his anger,ª the proud² ¹ helpersª ° do stoopª ° under¹ him." {Job 9:13} + "They have said,ª ° Come,² °¹ and let us cut them offª ° from [being] a nation;ª ¹ that the nameª of Israelª may be no¹ more¹ in remembrance.ª ° ...

Zobah:
From "And Solomonª went² °¹ to Hamathzobah,ª and prevailedª ° against¹ it." {2Ch 8:3}, we learn that Zobah was the district in which Tadmor or Palymyra was situated; and consequently lay between the land of Israel and the Euphrates. The capital was probably the same as the Sabe mentioned by Ptolemy as a city of Arabia Deserta.
