Rehoboth - broad places - In the Bible the name of three places.
A well in Gerar dug by Isaac (Gen. 26:22), supposed to be in Wady er-Ruheibeh, about 20 miles south of Beersheba.
An ancient city from which came Shaul, an Edomite king (Gen. 36:37; 1 Chr. 1:48), "Rehoboth by the river." Since "the River" in the Bible generally is used about Euphrates, scholars have suggested either of two sites near the junction of Khabur and Euphrates. However, this would be a place far outside the Edomite territory. The river mentioned could be a river in the land of Edom, such as Zered. Rehoboth could possibly be identical with a place southeast of the Salt Sea (The Dead Sea).
Rehoboth-Ir, named among the cities of Asshur, founded by Nimrod. (Gen. 10:11) Its exact location is not now known; it was possibly a suburb of Nineveh. Probably, however, the words "rehoboth'ir" are to be translated as in the Vulgate, "the streets of the city," or rather "the public square of the city", that is Nineveh.
Rehoboth's student body is both ethnically and economically diverse.
Rehoboth is committed to building students up not only intellectually, but also spiritually and emotionally, helping them grow into mature Christians who approach the world with a healthy perspective and the skills necessary for living in it.
Rehoboth teaches students to serve willingly, to appreciate the diversity of God's world, and to know the importance of achieving personal excellence for God's glory.

At Rehoboth, he revised and greatly improved it, using in the evening (according to Ezra Stiles, a President of Yale) pine knots instead of candles.
