SHOBAL . 1 . A ‘son’ of Seir the Horite, and one of the ‘dukes’ of the Horites ( Genesis 36:20; Genesis 36:23; Genesis 36:29 = 1 Chronicles 1:38; 1 Chronicles 1:40 ). 2 . A Calebite family in the tribe of Judah. This Shobal is called in 1 Chronicles 4:1-2 a ‘son’ of Judah, and in 1 Chronicles 2:50 ‘son’ of Caleb and ‘father’ of Kiriath-jearim. The name is probably to be connected, if not identified, with No. 1 .
