1. Nob (proper name, city) — A proper noun designating Nob, a priestly city in Benjamin near Jerusalem where David fled to Ahimelech the priest and received the showbread and Goliath's sword (1 Samuel 21-22; Nehemiah 11:32; Isaiah 10:32). Multilingual glosses consistently transliterate: English 'Nob/Nov,' Spanish 'Nob,' Hindi 'Nob' (नोब), Arabic 'Nub' (نُوب/نُوبَ), Korean 'Nop/Nobeu' (놉/노브), Swahili 'Nobu.' The two clusters differ only by prepositional prefix (beth 'in') and other grammatical particles, not by referent or semantic meaning. 6×
