Place in the north near Dan, from which perhaps Syrians were hired by the Ammonites against David (Judg. 18:28²⁸And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein. (Judges 18:28); 2 Sam. 10:6⁶And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelve thousand men. (2 Samuel 10:6)). Identified with Hunin, 33° 13’ N, 35° 32’ E. Some judge that the Syrians came from a different place near the Euphrates.
