l. Second named of the seven sons of Seir the Horite (Gen 36:20; 1Ch 1:38). He was the father of five sons (Gen 36:23; 1Ch 1:40), and one of the aboriginal dukes or sheiks of Edom (Gen 36:29). B.C. post 1963.
2. First named of the five sons of Hur the son of Caleb of the tribe of Judah. He became the founder (father) of Kirjath-jearimp (1Ch 2:50). B.C. cir. 1612. He is evidently the same mentioned as father of Reaiah (q. y.) among the descendants, (sons) of Judah in 1Ch 4:1-2. sv.

Shobal
1. Seir’s second son, a “duke” or phylarch of the Horites (Gen 36:20; Gen 36:29).
2. Prince or founder of Kirjath Jearim (1Ch 2:50; 1Ch 2:52). Soba (related to Shobal the founder of Kirjath Jearim) answers to it; for Kirjath Jearim is described as on the boundary of Judah, next Mount Seir, which is next to Chesalon. Kesla now answers to Chesalon, on the same ridge with Soba; and between the two is the mount called Saghir, evidently answering to Mount Seir. The thickets W. of Soba answer to Mount Jearim, “the hill of thickets.” Baalah was another name of Kirjath Jearim, meaning “elevated,” which is true of Soba. (Palestine Exploration Quarterly Statement, July 1878, p. 114.)
3. Possibly the same as Haroeh, which maybe a corruption for Reaiah (1Ch 4:1-2). So 2 and 3 are identical.
