Gob

From Bible Exegesis

A pit, a place mentioned in 2Sa_21:18, 2Sa_21:19; called also Gezer, in 1Ch_20:4.

gob (גּב, גּוב, gōbh):

A place mentioned in 2Sa_21:18 f as the scene of two of David's battles with the Philistines. The name appears here only. In the parallel passage, 1Ch_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.
