John Gill Commentary Genesis 36:37

"And Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth by the River reigned in his stead." — Genesis 36:37 (ASV)

And Samlah died As is supposed, about A. M. 2283. and Saul of Rehoboth [by] the river reigned in his stead; Rehoboth was one of the cities built by Ashur, (Genesis 10:11); and was situated near the river Euphrates; and so the Targum of Jonathan calls it Rehoboth which is by Euphrates; but Jerom ^F14, from Eusebius, takes it to be another city by a river in Edom, and says, that there was in his days a garrison in the country of Gabalena (a part of Idumea), a large village called by that name.
