Hadadezer (Biblical Hebrew: חדדעזר, romanized: Ḥăḏaḏʿezer, lit. 'Hadad helps';[1]), son of Rehob, was king of Zobah or Sova (Imperial Aramaic Ṣoḇā), a Syrian kingdom that may have been in the Beqaa Valley (now in Lebanon),[2] extended along the eastern side of the Anti-Lebanon mountains, reaching Hama to the north.[3] Zobah exercised power throughout southern Syria and inevitably clashed with the expanding empire of Israel.[1]

- ^ Eerdmans 2000, p. 537: According to Mark Anthony Phelps, in association with David Noel Freedman, the precise location of the city of Zobah is not known; however there is some agreement that it may have lied in the Beqaa Valley of Lebanon. In later Assyrian documents it may have been named a provincial center that derived from the recently incorporated city of Damascus..
