REHOBOTH . 1 . A well dug by the servants of Isaac and finally conceded to him, after two others, dug also by them, had become a subject of quarrel with Abimelech, king of Gerar ( Genesis 26:22 ). Several identifications have been proposed, of which the most probable is that made by Palmer with er-Ruhaibeh , about 20 miles S. of Beersheba. 2 . The name of a king of Edom in Genesis 36:37 , where he is called ‘Rehoboth of the River.’ ‘The River’ here may not be, as usually, the Euphrates, but the ‘River of Egypt’ (see Egypt [River of]).
