Rehob in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE
re'-hob (rechobh; Rhoob, Rhaab):
(1) Etymologically the word means "broad" and might be
applied either to a road or a plain. Rehob is given (Nu
13:21) as the northern limit of Israel as reached by the
spies. This agrees with the position assigned to Beth-rehob
in the narrative of the settlement of the Danites (Jdg
18:28). It is mentioned again along with the kingdom of
Zobah in connection with the wars of Saul (1 Sam 14:47
Septuagint Lag.), and as having been associated with, Zobah
and Maacah against David in the Ammonite war and as having
been defeated by him (2 Sam 10:6). Robinson sought to
identify it with Hunin, but it hardly suits the references.
Buhl (GAP, 240) following Thomson (LB, II, 547) seeks it at
Paneas (modern Banias). This would suit all the requirements
of the capital, Beth-rehob, which might then be the second
Rehob, assigned as part of the territory of Sidon to the
tribe Asher (Josh 19:28,30; Jdg 18:28). We must, however,
assign to the kingdom of Rehob a territory extending from
the settlements of the Danites to the "entering in of
Hamath" or to Libo (modern Leboue), i.e. the Great Plain of
Coele-Syria bounded by Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon and within
the limits indicated.
(2) Two separate towns belonging to Asher (Josh 19:28;
19:30). One of them was given to the Gershonite Levites
(Josh 21:31), and one is mentioned as remaining in the hands
of the Canaanites (Jdg 1:31).
(3) Father of Hadadezer, king of Aram Zobah, who was
overwhelmed by David at the Euphrates (2 Sam 8:3,12).
(4) One of the Levites who sealed Nehemiah's covenant on the
24th Tishri, 444 BC (Neh 10:11).
