Rezon
르손
Named at 1 Kings 11:23: “God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadadezer king of Zobah.” 11:24 says, “He gathered men to himself, and became captain over a troop, when David killed them of Zobah. They went to Damascus and lived there, and reigned in Damascus.” 11:25 says, “He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, in addition to the mischief of Hadad. He abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.” The Korean Revised Version reads 솔로몬의 대적, an adversary to Solomon, at 11:23, names Rezon at 11:24 and 11:25, and has Rezon go to Damascus and become king there (다메섹으로 가서 웅거하고 거기서 왕이 되었더라).
