Explanation preview
This verse sits in a list of Edomite kings who ruled before Israel had a king, part of the Chronicler's wide survey of humanity from Adam onward. Shaul is identified by his hometown, Rehoboth on the Euphrates, a detail that places him far to the northeast of Edom and hints at how Edom's rulers and influence reached beyond their own territory.
