And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Nobah - also a distinguished person connected with the eastern branch of this tribe. In the rich and extensive provinces of Gilead and Bashan these tribes found ample room for all their numbers, both of men and cattle, and in deep fertile soil, dense forests, luxuriant pasturage, and abundance of flowing streams, they must have seemed to realize the good land which had been promised them. The regions occupied by the two tribes and a half do not, according to the ordinary maps, appear to extend far eastward. But Michaelis, reasoning from the site of mount Gilead, which, as he thinks evident from the journeys of Jacob and Laban, lay not far from the Euphrates, maintains that the eastern border of the pasture-lands of these tribes must have touched close upon the Euphrates, thus fulfilling the promise (Genesis 15:18).
