It played a significant role in the history of Israel during the reigns of King Saul and King David. The kingdom of Zobah was located in the region of Syria, north of Israel, and was known for its military strength and wealth.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Zobah is first mentioned in the context of King Saul's military campaigns. In <a href="/1_samuel/14-47.htm">1 Samuel 14:47</a> , it is recorded: "After Saul had assumed the kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side: against Moab, the Ammonites, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he routed them." This passage highlights Zobah as one of the adversaries of Israel during Saul's reign.<br><br>The kingdom of Zobah is more prominently featured during the reign of King David. In <a href="/2_samuel/8-3.htm">2 Samuel 8:3-4</a> , it is written: "David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to restore his control along the Euphrates River. David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but he spared enough for a hundred chariots." This victory over Zobah was part of David's broader campaign to establish Israel's dominance in the region.<br><br>Further details of David's conflict with Zobah are found in <a href="/1_chronicles/18-3.htm">1 Chronicles 18:3-4</a> , which parallels the account in 2 Samuel. The Chronicles account emphasizes David's military prowess and God's favor upon him, as he expanded Israel's territory and influence.<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b> <br>Zobah was a significant Aramean kingdom during the early monarchy period of Israel. Its exact location is not definitively known, but it is generally believed to have been situated in the region of modern-day Syria, possibly near the city of Aleppo. The kingdom's strategic location made it a formidable power, controlling trade routes and possessing a strong military.<br><br>The king of Zobah during David's time, Hadadezer, is noted for his attempts to expand his influence along the Euphrates River. This expansionist policy brought him into direct conflict with David, who sought to secure Israel's borders and assert control over neighboring territories.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>The accounts of Zobah in the Bible illustrate the theme of God's providence and favor upon Israel, particularly during the reign of David. The victories over Zobah and other neighboring kingdoms are seen as a fulfillment of God's promises to establish Israel as a powerful nation under David's leadership. These narratives also underscore the importance of obedience to God and reliance on His strength in achieving success and prosperity.<br><br><b>Cultural and Political Influence:</b> <br>Zobah's interactions with Israel reflect the complex political landscape of the ancient Near East. The kingdom's wealth and military capabilities made it a significant player in regional politics. The defeat of Zobah by David not only secured Israel's northern borders but also demonstrated the shifting power dynamics in the region, with Israel emerging as a dominant force under David's rule.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While the kingdom of Zobah eventually fades from the biblical narrative, its interactions with Israel during the reigns of Saul and David provide valuable insights into the historical and theological context of the Old Testament. The accounts of Zobah serve as a testament to God's faithfulness to His people and the unfolding of His divine plan through the history of Israel.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Zobah</span><p>Zobebah, an army; warring<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Zobah</span><p>A country of Syria, whose king carried on war with Saul and David, <a href="/1_samuel/14-47.htm">1 Samuel 14:47</a> <a href="/2_samuel/8-3.htm">2 Samuel 8:3</a> 10:6.

Zobah was an Aramean kingdom of which we have the first notice in Saul's wars (<a href="/1_samuel/14-47.htm">1 Samuel 14:47</a>).<br><br>(1) David's First War.<br><br>When David sought to extend his boundary to the Euphrates, he came into contact with its king Hadadezer, and a great battle was fought in which David took many prisoners. Damascus, however, came to the rescue and fresh resistance was made, but a complete rout followed and great spoil fell to the victor, as well as access to the rich copper mines of Tebah and Berothai. Toi, king of Hamath, who had suffered in war with Hadadezer, now sent his son on an embassy with greetings and gifts to David (<a href="/2_samuel/8-3.htm">2 Samuel 8:3-12</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/18-3.htm">1 Chronicles 18:3-12</a>). See <a href="/nasb/psalms/60.htm">Psalm 60</a>, title.<br><br>(2) David's Second War.<br><br>During David's Ammonite war, the enemy was strengthened by alliance with Zobah, Maacah and Beth-rehob, and Israel was attacked from both North and South at the same time. The northern confederation was defeated by Joab, but Hadadezer again gathered an army, including levies from beyond the Euphrates. These, under Shobach the captain of the host, were met by David in person at Helam, and a great slaughter ensued, Shobach himself being among the slain (<a href="/2_samuel/10-6.htm">2 Samuel 10:6-19</a>, the King James Version "Zoba"; <a href="/1_chronicles/19-3.htm">1 Chronicles 19:3-19</a>). Rezon, son of Eliada, now broke away from Hadadezer and, getting possession of Damascus, set up a kingdom hostile to Israel (<a href="/1_kings/11-23.htm">1 Kings 11:23-25</a>). Solomon seems (<a href="/2_chronicles/8-3.htm">2 Chronicles 8:3</a>) to have invaded and subdued Hamath-zobah, but the text, especially Septuagint, is obscure.<br><br>(3) Geographical Position.<br><br>We can now consider the vexed question of the situation and extent of Aram-zobah. (See <a href="../s/syria.htm">SYRIA, 4, (10)</a>.) In addition to the Old Testament references we have the Assyrian name lists. In these Subiti is placed between Kui and Zemar, and, where it is otherwise referred to, a position is implied between Hamath and Damascus. It would thus lie along the eastern slopes of Anti-Lebanon extending thence to the desert, and in the north it may have at times included Emesa (modern Homs) around which Noldeke would locate it. Damascus was probably a tributary state till seized by Rezon. Winckler would identify it with another Cubiti, a place in the Hauran mentioned by Assurbanipal on the Hassam Cylinder vii, lines 110-12. This latter may be the native place of Igal, one of David's "thirty" (<a href="/2_samuel/23-36.htm">2 Samuel 23:36</a>), who is named among eastern Israelites.<br><br>The kingdom of Zobah in addition to its mineral wealth must have been rich in vineyards and fruitful fields, and its conquest must have added greatly to the wealth and power of Israel's king.<br><br>W.
