Rezon

Meaning: prince

son of Eliadah

Abandoning the service of Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, on the occasion of his being defeated by David, 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.”
