It is used to refer to several individuals, most notably a descendant of Seir the Horite and a chief of Edom, as well as a son of Caleb, a descendant of Judah. The name Shobal may imply a sense of "return" or "path," reflecting the root meaning of the word.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or destiny. Shobal, as a name, is associated with leadership and lineage, particularly within the genealogies of Edom and Judah. The Horites, to whom one Shobal belonged, were a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. The genealogical records in the Bible often served to establish tribal and familial connections, which were crucial for inheritance rights and social status.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/7640.htm">shobel</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"flowing," an Edomite, also two Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Shobal (9).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שׁוֺבָל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine 1.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Edomite name</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/36-20.htm">Genesis 36:20</a>,23,29 = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/1-38.htm">1 Chronicles 1:38</a>;
