Rehob — a place name for locations near Hamath, in Asher, and also personal names of an Aramean king and a Levite
Rehob (meaning 'broad place' or 'open square') designates several distinct locations in the land of Israel, most notably a city near the entrance to Hamath in the far north and a Levitical city in the territory of Asher. The name also belongs to at least two individuals: an Aramean king mentioned in 2 Samuel and a post-exilic Levite who sealed the covenant in Nehemiah. The geographic Rehob near Hamath marked the northern limit of the spies' reconnaissance in Numbers 13:21, while the Asherite Rehob appears in the allotment lists and among the Levitical cities.

1. Rehob (place name) — The proper noun Rehob as a geographic and personal name, encompassing a northern city near Hamath that served as a boundary marker for the Promised Land (Num 13:21; 2 Sam 10:8), a Levitical city in Asher assigned to the Gershonites (Josh 19:28, 30; 21:31; Judg 1:31), an Aramean ruler (2 Sam 8:3, 12), and a post-exilic Levite (Neh 10:12). Spanish 'Rejob' and English 'Rehob/Rechov' both reflect standard transliterations of the Hebrew root meaning 'broad, open.' 10×
