Shobab (personal name, possibly 'rebellious, backturning')
This masculine name, ironically possibly meaning 'rebellious' or 'backturning,' identifies two individuals: a son of David born in Jerusalem, and a son of Caleb. The name appears in multiple genealogical lists. Despite its potentially negative etymology, it functioned as a normal personal name without apparent stigma.

Senses
1. sense 1 — Personal name for two individuals: (1) Shobab, one of David's sons born in Jerusalem, listed in 2 Samuel 5:14, 1 Chronicles 3:5, and 14:4; (2) Shobab son of Caleb by Azubah in 1 Chronicles 2:18. The name possibly derives from the root שׁוב in the sense of 'turning away, apostasy' (cf. H7726 שׁוֹבָב 'apostate'), yielding 'rebellious' or 'backturning'—though personal names don't always carry their etymological meaning functionally. Septuagint renderings vary (Σωβαβ, Σωβαδ). Multilingual glosses consistently transliterate with the conjunction: Spanish 'y-Shovav/y-Sobab,' French 'et-Shobab,' German 'und-Shovav'—all recognizing it as a proper name. The name's potential irony (naming a child 'rebellious') may reflect circumstances of birth or simply phonetic preference. 4×
