Rezon’s Hostility

And God raised up against [Solomon] [another] adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada who had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah, 24 and had gathered men to himself. When David killed the Zobaites, [Rezon] captained a band [of raiders] and went to Damascus, where they settled and gained control
