SHOBAL.—1. A ‘son’ of Seir the Horite, and one of the ‘dukes’ of the Horites (Gen_36:20; Gen_36:23; Gen_36:29 = 1Ch_1:38; 1Ch_1:40). 2. A Calebite family in the tribe of Judah. This Shobal is called in 1Ch_4:1-2 a ‘son’ of Judah, and in 1Ch_2:50 ‘son’ of Caleb and ‘father’ of Kiriath-jearim. The name is probably to be connected, if not identified, with No. 1.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


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.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary

Sho'bal. (flowing).
1. Second son of Seir, the Horite, Gen_36:20; 1Ch_1:38, and one of the "dukes," of the Horites Gen_36:29.
2. Son of Caleb, the son of Hur, and founder, or prince, of Kirjath-jearim. 1Ch_2:50; 1Ch_2:52. (B.C. about 1445).
3. In 1Ch_4:1-2, Shobal appears with Hur, among the sons of Judah. He is, possibly, the same as Shobal, 2.
