Shobal, a proper name borne by an Edomite clan chief (Horite) and by figures in the genealogies of Judah and Caleb.
A proper name appearing in both Edomite and Judahite genealogies. The earliest attestation identifies Shobal as a son of Seir the Horite and one of the clan chiefs of Edom (Gen 36:20, 23, 29), with a parallel listing in 1 Chronicles 1:38, 40. A second Shobal appears as a descendant of Caleb and founder of Kiriath-Jearim (1 Chr 2:50, 52), and a third in the lineage of Judah (1 Chr 4:1-2). The LXX renders the name as Σουβαλ, while Spanish offers both 'Sobal' and 'Shoval.'
Senses
1. Shoval — The personal and clan name Shobal (שׁוֹבָל), designating at least two or three individuals: a Horite/Edomite chief descended from Seir (Gen 36:20, 23, 29; 1 Chr 1:38, 40), a son of Hur and grandson of Caleb associated with Kiriath-Jearim (1 Chr 2:50, 52), and a figure in Judah's line (1 Chr 4:1-2). The overlap between Edomite and Judahite genealogies may reflect historical clan migrations or territorial absorption. Translations consistently transliterate as Shobal (English), Sobal/Shoval (Spanish), and Schobal (German). 9×
