NOBAH. 1 . The clan name of the Israelites who conquered the city of Kenath (wh. see). 2. A place named with Jogbehah in the account of Gideon’s pursuit of Zebah and Zalmunna ( Judges 8:11 ), possibly also in Numbers 21:30 , where the Syr. reads ‘Nobah which is on the desert,’ instead of ‘ Nophah which reacheth unto Medeba.’ This may have been the original settlement of the clan of that name. It should be sought, probably, near the upper reaches of the Jabbok; but the site has not been recovered.
