No'bah. (barking). An Israelite warrior, Numbers 32:42, who during the conquest of the territory on the east of Jordan, possessed himself of the town of Kenath, and the villages or hamlets dependent upon it, and gave them his own name. (B.C.1450).

For a certain period, after the establishment of the Israelite rule, the new name remained, Judges 8:11, but it is not again heard of, and the original appellation, as is usual in such cases, appears to have recovered its hold, has since retained; for in the slightly-modified form of Kunawat, it is the name of the place to the present day.
