<p> (Heb. Yobab', יוֹבָב, probably dweller in the [[Desert]] , from the Arabic; Sept. Ι᾿ωβάβ, but in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 1:23, τὸν Εὐἱ καὶ τὸν ᾿Ωράμ, v.r. simply Ι᾿ωάβ ), the name of several men. </p> <p> '''1.''' The last-named of the sons of Joktan, and founder of a tribe in [[Arabia]] (&nbsp;Genesis 10:29; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 1:23), B.C. post 2414. Bochart compares (''Phaleg'' , 2, 29) the ''Jobaritoe'' (Ιωβαρῖται ) of Ptolemy (6, 7, 24), a people on the eastern coast of Arabia, near the Socalitae, which, after Salmasius, he supposes to be for Jobabitoe; so also Michaelis (Spicileg. 2, 303; Supplem. 1013). </p> <p> '''2.''' Son of Zerah of Bozrah, king of Edom after [[Bela]] and before [[Husham]] (&nbsp;Genesis 36:33-34; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 1:44-45), B.C. prob. long ante 1617. The supposition that he was identical with the patriarch Job rests only upon the apocryphal addition to the book of Job in the Sept., and is utterly unworthy of credit. (See [[Job]]). </p> <p> '''3.''' The Canaanitish king of Madon, one of those whose aid Jabin invoked in the struggle with the [[Israelites]] (&nbsp;Joshua 11:1), B.C. 1617. </p> <p> '''4.''' The first-named of the sons of [[Shaharaim]] by one of his wives, [[Hodesh]] or [[Baara]] of the tribe of Benjamin, although apparently born in [[Moab]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 8:9), B.C. cir. 1612. </p> <p> '''5.''' One of the "sons" of Elpaal, a chief of Benjamin, at [[Jerusalem]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 8:18), B.C. probably cir. 588. </p>
