About Nobah Written by AI
Nobah was an Israelite from the tribe of Manasseh who lived during the time of the conquest of Canaan. He captured the town of Kenath and its surrounding settlements, renaming the town after himself (Numbers 32:42). Kenath was located in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. The renaming of the town to Nobah was a common practice in ancient times, reflecting the conquest and ownership of the area by the victor.
