Yishebo Benov
and-Ishbi
Yishbo be-Nob is a proper name, designating a specific Philistine figure encountered in narrative accounts during the monarchic period. The name is likely interpreted as 'the one who dwells in Nob' or 'his dwelling is in Nob,' reflecting a relationship between the individual and the location Nob, though the grammatical construction is somewhat irregular, suggesting possibly a non-native name adapted or reinterpreted in the Hebrew text. Semantically, the term functions exclusively as a personal name in biblical context.
