The Edomite kings ruled before any king reigned over the Israelites, as noted in <a href="/genesis/36-31.htm">Genesis 36:31</a>. This phrase marks the transition of power, a common occurrence in monarchies, and highlights the mortality of human leaders, contrasting with the eternal reign of God. The death of a king often led to political changes and could affect the stability of the region.<p><b>Shaul from Rehoboth on the Euphrates</b><br>Shaul's origin, Rehoboth on the Euphrates, suggests a connection to a significant geographical location. The Euphrates River was a major waterway in the ancient Near East, often associated with prosperity and trade. Rehoboth, meaning "broad places," indicates a place of expansion or growth. This location may have been a strategic or economically important area, influencing Shaul's rise to power. The mention of the Euphrates also connects to the broader biblical narrative, as the river is one of the boundaries of the land promised to Abraham's descendants (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18</a>).<p><b>reigned in his place</b><br>The succession of Shaul as king signifies the continuation of Edomite leadership and the dynastic nature of their rule. This transition reflects the political structures of the time, where kingship was often hereditary or passed to a chosen successor. The phrase underscores the temporal nature of earthly kingdoms, which rise and fall, in contrast to the eternal kingdom of God. The concept of reigning also points to the ultimate reign of Christ, who is prophesied to rule with justice and righteousness (<a href="/isaiah/9-7.htm">Isaiah 9:7</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/samlah.htm">Samlah</a></b><br>A king mentioned in the genealogies of Edom, who reigned before Shaul.
