BETH-REHOB

(Heb. bêṯ rĕḥôḇ)

A place in southern Syria, near the city of Dan (Judg. 18:28). During David’s campaign against the Ammonites, the Ammonites hired 20 thousand Syrian foot soldiers from Beth-rehob (2 Sam. 10:6). It does not appear in the parallel passage (1 Chr. 19:6-7), possibly because the Chronicler focuses on the hiring of chariots and charioteers and Beth-rehob only had foot soldiers. This may suggest that Beth-rehob refers to an upland area of the upper Golan and portions of Upper Galilee near the foothills of Mt. Hermon, where chariots could not be used. It may also refer to the entire Anti-Lebanon range.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
