Senses
1. sense 1 — A Judahite city named for its pleasantness, appearing only in the genealogical note about King Manasseh's maternal ancestry in 2 Kings 21:19. The uniform transliteration across languages (Spanish 'Yotba,' French and German 'Yotbah') treats this as a proper geographical designation. Though the site is unidentified, the name preserves a fragment of Judah's urban geography. 1×
