23God also raised up an adversary against Solomon: Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah.

24He gathered men around him and became commander of an armed band when David killed Hadadezer’s troops. They went to Damascus, settled there, and ruled there.

25Rezon was an adversary of Israel throughout Solomon’s reign, adding to the harm Hadad caused. He loathed Israel and reigned over Aram.
