NODAB. The name of a tribe mentioned in 1 Chronicles 5:19 , along with Naphish and Jetur, as among the foes encountered and subdued by the Reubenites. A comparison with various readings of LXX [Note: Septuagint.] shows that the vowels of the word are uncertain. An Identification with the Nabatæans is excluded both on phonological grounds and by the fact that the latter, whose position was in any case too remote from Reuben, did not appear in history till long after the tribal period of the Hebrews had come to an end. Somewhat more plausible is a combination with a modern village Nudçbe in the Hauran.
