XXgob (gobh): A place mentioned in 2 Sam 21:18 f as the scene of two of Davids battles with the Philistines. The name appears here only. In the parallel passage, 1 Ch 20:4, it is called Gezer (compare Ant, VII, xii, 2). Certain texts read "Nob" for "Gob," while Syriac and Septuagint read "Gath." The latter is probably correct.
