Here he found refuge and succor with Ahimelech. This was observed by Doeg the Edomite, who informed the king, and afterward became the instrument of Saul's savage vengeance on the priests, and on all the inhabitants of the city (1 Sam 22). The name occurs in Nehemiah 11:32 in a list of cities, immediately after Anathoth. In Isaiah's ideal account of the Assyrians' march against Jerusalem, Nob is clearly placed South of Anathoth. Here, says the prophet, the [[Assyrian]] shall shake his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. It was a place, therefore, from which the Holy City and the temple were clearly visible. </p> <p> The district in which the site must be sought is thus very definitely indicated; but within this district no name at all resembling Nob has been discovered, and so no sure identification is yet possible. <i> ''''' ‛Anāta ''''' </i> (Anathoth) Isaiah 2 1/2 miles Northeast of Jerusalem. Nob therefore lay between that and the city, at a point where the city could be seen, apparently on the great road from the Nob. Rather more than a mile North of [[Jerusalem]] rises the ridge <i> ''''' Rās ''''' </i> <i> ''''' el ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' Meshārif ''''' </i> (2,665 ft.), over which the road from the Nob passes; and here the traveler approaching from that direction obtains his first sight of the city. It is fittingly named "the look-out." Col. Conder states the case for identifying this height with Mt. [[Scopus]] where Titus established his camp at the siege of Jerusalem ( <i> Pefs </i> , 1874,111 ff). Immediately South of the ridge, to the East of the road, there is a small plateau, South of which there is a lower ridge, whence the slopes dip into <i> ''''' Wâdy ''''' </i> <i> ''''' el ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' Jōz ''''' </i> . This plateau, on which Titus may have sat, is a very probable site for Nob. It quite suits the requirements of Isaiah's narrative, and not less those of David's flight. Gibeah lay not far to the North, and this lay in the most likely path to the South. </p>

Nob [1]

The probable representative of this place, acquiesced in by Tristram (Bible Places, page 120), and substantially also by Conder (Tent Work, 2:117), is laid down on the Ordnance Map as Khurbet es-Soma, at less than half a mile north-east of Shafat, and described in the accompanying Memoirs (3:125) as "heaps of ruins; a cistern fourteen paces by four, with a rubble roof; and a crumbling building, apparently modern. There is a remarkable knoll of rock in the place, whence the name 'ruin of the heap.' The top of this knoll is surmounted by the remains of a small vaulted chamber. There are also a few rock-cut tombs on the south-east, now closed."
