21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.
22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit only let me depart.
23 And God raised up 'another' adversary unto him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.
24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a troop, when David slew them 'of Zobah': and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.
25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad 'did': and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
