1 Kings 11:23-25

Living Bible

²³ Another of Solomon’s enemies whom God raised to power was Rezon, one of the officials of King Hadadezer of Zobah who had deserted his post and fled the country. ²⁴ He had become the leader of a gang of bandits—men who fled with him to Damascus (where he later became king) when David destroyed Zobah. ²⁵ During Solomon’s entire lifetime, Rezon and Hadad were his enemies, for they hated Israel intensely.
