Goat, wild, Job 39:1; 1Sa 24:2, where it is an equivalent for yã' él - Strongs: H3277, translated in Ps. 104:18, as hart and in Prov. 5:19, as fawn, is most probably the ibex syriacus, a denizen of the rocky summits [Ps. 104:18]. It was regarded as a model of grace (Proverbs 5:19), and its name, Jahel, Jahala, was frequently given to persons (Judges 5:6; Ezra 2:56, etc.).
