GOB . A place mentioned only in 2 Samuel 21:18 as the scene of an exploit of one of David’s warriors. In the parallel passage 1 Chronicles 20:4 Gob appears as Gezer; many texts read it as Nob . The Gr. and Syr. versions have Gath . Nothing is known of Gob as a separate place. The word means ‘cistern.’
