("house of Rechob, or room".) A place near the valley containing the town Laish or Dan (Judges 18:28). The modern Hunin, a fortress commanding the plain Huleh in which the city of Dan (Tell el Kady) was. One of Aram's (Syria's) little kingdoms, like Zobah, Maacah, Ishtob; hired by Ammon against David (2 Samuel 10:6; 2 Samuel 10:8). Shortened into Rechob (Numbers 13:21). Being "far from Zidon," it is distinct from the Rehob in Asher, which is not very far from Zidon. Hadadezer king of Zobah was son of Rehob (2 Samuel 8).
From the co-author of the classic Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary, Fausset's Bible Dictionary stands as one of the best single-volume Bible encyclopedias ever written for general use. The author's writing style is always clear and concise, and he tackles issues important to the average student of the Bible, not just the Biblical scholars. This makes Fausset an excellent tool for both everyday Bible study and in-depth lesson or sermon preparation.Wikipedia
