And Samlah died, and Saul of (h) Rehoboth [by] the river reigned in his stead.
(h) Which is by the river Euphrates.

And Samlah died,.... As is supposed, about A. M. 2283.
and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead; Rehoboth was one of the cities built by Ashur, Genesis 10:11; and was situated near the river Euphrates; and so the Targum of Jonathan calls it Rehoboth which is by Euphrates; but Jerom (n), from Eusebius, takes it to be another city by a river in Edom, and says, that there was in his days a garrison in the country of Gabalena (a part of Idumea), a large village called by that name.
(n) De loc. Hebrews. fol. 93. M. & 94. A.
