NOBAH (Place)

1. Town east of the Jordan, previously named Kenath, allotted to Nobah the Manassite for an inheritance, at which time he called it Nobah after his own name (Nm 32:42). Nobah is perhaps also identifiable with Kanatha, the easternmost city of the Decapolis during the Roman era.

See also Decapolis; Kanatha.

2. Place near the Gadite town of Jogbehah east of the Jordan, near which Gideon ambushed the Midianites (Jgs 8:11).
