beth-rē´hob (בּית־רחוב, beÌ„th-rehÌ£oÌ„bh; ὁ οῖκος ῬααÌβ, ho oıÌkos RhaaÌb) : An Aramean town and district which, along with Zobah and Maacah, assisted Ammon against David (, , Rehob). It is probably identical with Rehob (), the northern limit of the spies' journey. Laish-Dan (probably Tell el-Kadi) was situated near it (). The site of the town is unknown. It has been conjecturally identified with Hunin, West of Banias, and, more plausibly, with Banias itself (Thomson, The Land and the Book (2), 218; Buhl, Geog., 240; Moore, ICC, Jgs, 399).
