SHOBAL.—1. A ‘son’ of Seir the Horite, and one of the ‘dukes’ of the Horites (Gen_36:20; Gen_36:23; Gen_36:29 = 1Ch_1:38; 1Ch_1:40). 2. A Calebite family in the tribe of Judah. This Shobal is called in 1Ch_4:1-2 a ‘son’ of Judah, and in 1Ch_2:50 ‘son’ of Caleb and ‘father’ of Kiriath-jearim. The name is probably to be connected, if not identified, with No. 1.
