Jobab

Jobab in the Bible is a Genesis genealogical ancestor named as one of Joktan’s sons. Genesis 10:29 lists Jobab with Ophir and Havilah and says that these named persons were sons of Joktan. The passage places his name within a genealogical list rather than recounting an action or location. Jobab is first and last named in this single verse within Genesis; the supplied evidence gives no further narrative for this identity.
