Shaul This is the same name in Hebrew as "Saul."

Rehoboth by the River The R.V. by printing "River" with a capital adopts the interpretation that the Euphrates is here intended. If so, Rehoboth may be Rahabaa little south of the junction of the Habor with the Euphrates. But it may be asked, what connexion can there be between Edom and the Euphrates? Hence some prefer to explain by the "river of Egypt," the Wady el Arish, viz. the boundary between Palestine and Egypt, from which the Rehoboth of Genesis 26:22 would not be very remote. But "the River" is nahar; "the river of Egypt" is naḥal mizraim.

Achbor Meaning "jerboa." The name occurs in 2 Kings 22:14; Jeremiah 26:22; Jeremiah 36:12.
