  Rezon
     prince, son of Eliadah. Abandoning the service of Hadadezer, the

     he became the "captain over a band" of marauders, and took
     Damascus, and became king of Syria (1 Kings 11:23-25; 2 Sam.
     8:3-8). For centuries after this the Syrians were the foes of


     Israel. He "became an adversary to Israel all the days of
     Solomon."
