Pa'hath-mo'ab. (governor of Moab). Head of one of the chief houses, of the tribe of Judah. Of the individual, or the occasion of his receiving so singular a name, nothing is known with any certainty, but as we read in 1 Chronicles 4:22, of a family of Shilonites, of the tribe of Judah, who in very early times, "had dominion in Moab," it may be conjectured that, this was the origin of the name.
