Obil — Ishmaelite overseer of David's camels
Obil was an Ishmaelite who served as overseer of David's camels (1 Chronicles 27:30). The name may mean 'camel-driver' or possibly be theophoric (containing a divine element). His ethnic identity as an Ishmaelite is noteworthy, demonstrating that David's administration included non-Israelites in positions of trust. The role of camel overseer was significant in an era when these animals were valuable for trade, military logistics, and desert transport.

1. sense 1 — Personal name (possibly meaning 'camel-driver') of an Ishmaelite administrator in David's service. The name is consistently transliterated across languages (English 'Obil,' Spanish 'Obil'), though variant vocalizations exist. His appointment in 1 Chronicles 27:30 as overseer of camels reflects both his ethnic background (Ishmaelites were traditionally camel-herders) and David's cosmopolitan administrative structure, which incorporated skilled foreigners. 1×
