JOBAB. 1. A son of Joktan in the genealogies ( Genesis 10:29 , 1 Chronicles 1:23 ), and therefore probably an Arabian geographical name. Glaser identifies Jobab with YHYBB (likely Yuhaybab ), a tribe mentioned in the Sabæan inscriptions. Sprenger through the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] form Iobor relates it to Wabâr , a considerable region in S. Arabia. 2. A king of Edom ( Genesis 36:33 f., 1 Chronicles 1:44 f.), confused, in the apocryphal appendix to the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] version of Job, with Job (see Job, § 1). 3. A king of Madon, ally of Jabin of Hazor against Joshua ( Joshua 11:1 ). 4, 5. Name of two Benjamites ( 1 Chronicles 8:9; 1 Chronicles 8:18 ).
