This city, named Rehoboth, was situated by the river and given this designation to differentiate it from another Rehoboth mentioned in Scripture (Gen. 10:11). It was located alongside the Euphrates River.
And he being dead, Saul, of the river Rohoboth, reigned in his stead.
וַיָּ֖מָת שַׂמְלָ֑ה וַיִּמְלֹ֣ךְ תַּחְתָּ֔יו שָׁא֖וּל מֵרְחֹב֥וֹת הַנָּהָֽר׃
