2. City in the East, “by the river,” from whence one named Saul, or Shaul, became an early king of Edom (Gen. 36:37; 1 Chron. 1:48).

One is eight miles below the junction of the Khabur river, and the other four or five miles further south on the left bank, and called Rahabeh, Melek, that is “royal.”
