Ishbah
(Hebrew Yzshbach, יַשְבָּח, praiser; Sept. Ι᾿εσαβά), a descendant of Judah, and founder (father) of Eshtemoa (q.v.); he probably was a son of Mered by his wife Hodiah (1Ch_4:17). B.C. post 1612. SEE MEFRED. He is perhaps the same as ISHI SEE ISHI (q.v.) in 1Ch_4:20, and apparently identical with the NAHAM SEE NAHAM (q.v.) of 1Ch_4:19.
