It refers specifically to an individual who held a position of responsibility in King David's administration.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, camels were valuable assets, especially for trade and transportation across arid regions. The role of a camel tender or overseer was significant, as camels were essential for economic and military logistics. Obil, being an Ishmaelite, reflects the interconnectedness of different ethnic groups within the administration of Israel during King David's reign. The Ishmaelites were descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, and were known for their skills in trade and animal husbandry.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>overseer of David's camels<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Obil (1).<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">אוֺבִיל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (? <em>camel-driver</em>), overseer of David's camels <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/27-30.htm">1 Chronicles 27:30</a>. <p><font class="hebrew2">אֻבָל</font>, <font class="hebrew2">אוּבָל</font> see <font class="hebrew2">יבל</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Obil <p>Probably from <a href="/hebrew/56.htm">'abal</a>; mournful; Obil, an Ishmaelite -- Obil. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/56.htm">'abal</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>אוֹבִ֖יל אוביל ’ō·w·ḇîl ’ōwḇîl oVil<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_chronicles/27-30.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Chronicles 27:30</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/27.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְעַל־ הַ֨גְּמַלִּ֔ים <b> אוֹבִ֖יל </b> הַיִּשְׁמְעֵלִ֑י וְעַל־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_chronicles/27.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">Obil</span> the Ishmaelite had charge<br><a href="/kjvs/1_chronicles/27.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Over the camels <span class="itali">also [was] Obil</span> the Ishmaelite:<br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/27-30.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> had charge of the camels <span class="itali">Obil</span> the Ishmaelite had charge<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_179.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_179.htm">Strong's Hebrew 179<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/ovil_179.htm">’ō·w·ḇîl — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/178.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="178"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="178" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/180.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="180"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="180" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
