Semla also died, and Saul of Rohoboth, which is near the river, reigned in his stead.

And when Saul was dead, Balanan the son of Achobor reigned in his stead.

He also died, and Adad reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Phau, and his wife was called Meetabel the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezaab.
