Usage: Rezon is used as a proper name for a specific individual in the Old Testament. Context: Rezon is a figure mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the reign of King Solomon. He is identified as the son of Eliada and is noted for having fled from his master, Hadadezer, king of Zobah. After his escape, Rezon became a leader of a band of marauders and eventually established himself as a ruler in Damascus. His actions and leadership posed a significant threat to Solomon's kingdom, as he became an adversary to Israel throughout Solomon's reign. Rezon's opposition to Solomon is seen as part of the divine retribution against Solomon for his idolatry and turning away from God. The account of Rezon is found in 1 Kings 11:23-25, where it is stated: "God raised up Rezon son of Eliada as an adversary against Solomon. Rezon had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah, and gathered men around him. He became the leader of a marauding band, and after David killed the men of Zobah, they went to Damascus, where they settled and took control. Rezon was Israel’s enemy throughout the days of Solomon, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled over Aram and was hostile toward Israel."
