Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Hadarezer, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. However, the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, may render the name in a form transliterated from the Hebrew.

Usage: Hadarezer is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a king of Zobah, an Aramean kingdom, who was a contemporary of King David.

Context: Hadarezer was a king of Zobah, an Aramean kingdom located in the region of modern-day Syria. He is mentioned in the context of King David's military campaigns. Hadarezer's kingdom was involved in conflicts with Israel during David's reign. The biblical narrative describes how David defeated Hadarezer and his forces, expanding Israel's territory and influence. This victory is recorded in several passages, including 2 Samuel 8:3-12 and 1 Chronicles 18:3-10. In these accounts, Hadarezer is depicted as a formidable opponent who gathered a coalition of forces to resist David's advances. Despite his efforts, Hadarezer was ultimately defeated, and his wealth and resources were seized by David, contributing to the prosperity and power of Israel during this period.

In 2 Samuel 8:3 (BSB), it is written: "David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to restore his control along the Euphrates River." This passage highlights the strategic importance of Hadarezer's kingdom and the significance of David's victory in securing Israel's borders and establishing dominance over the surrounding regions.
