Rezon Becomes an Enemy of Solomon

²³ Here is how God made Rezon son of Eliada an enemy of Solomon:

Rezon had run away from his master, King Hadadezer of Zobah. ^24-25 He formed his own small army and became its leader after David had defeated Hadadezer's troops.^[a] Then Rezon and his army went to Damascus, where he became the ruler of Syria and an enemy of Israel.

Both Hadad and Rezon were enemies of Israel while Solomon was king, and they caused him a lot of trouble.
