Nobah was an Israelite who captured the town of Kenath and renamed it after himself.
Nobah was an Israelite from the tribe of Manasseh who, during the conquest and settlement of Transjordan, captured the Amorite town of Kenath and its surrounding villages and renamed them after himself (Numbers 32:42). The town reverted to its original name in later records (Judges 8:11 preserves both names), suggesting the eponymous renaming did not permanently supplant the earlier designation. Nobah appears only in this territorial notice.
