| I Samuel 14:47
| And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.
| Soba, in the north. (Menochius) --- Rohob was the capital of another part of Coelosyria, (1 Paralipomenon 18:3.; 2 Kings 10:6.) --- Overcame. We are not to judge of the virtue of a man from his success in the world. (Calmet) --- Under the reign of Saul, the tribe of Ruben overcame the Agarites, 1 Paralipomenon 5:10, 18. (Salien, the year of the world 2965.)
