The plain lying between these mountains and the Tigris was called su-Edina, i.e., \"the border of the plain.\" This name was sometimes shortened into Suti and Su, and has been regarded as = Shoa (Eze 23:23). Some think it denotes a place in Babylon. (See PEKOD.)\nShobab Apostate. (1.) One of David's sons by Bathseheba (Sa2 5:14). (2.) One of the sons of Caleb (Ch1 2:18), the son of Hezron.\nShobach Poured out, the \"captain of the host of Hadarezer\" when he mustered his vassals and tributaries from beyond \"the river Euphrates\" (Sa2 10:15); called also Shophach (Ch1 19:16).\nShobal Pilgrim. (1.) The second son of Seir the Horite; one of the Horite \"dukes\" (Gen 36:20). (2.) One of the sons of Caleb, and a descendant of Hur (Ch1 2:50, Ch1 2:52; Ch1 4:1, Ch1 4:2).\nShobi Captor, son of Nahash of Rabbah, the Ammonite. He showed kindness to David when he fled from Jerusalem to Mahanaim (Sa2 17:27).\nShoe Of various forms, from the mere sandal (q.v.) to the complete covering of the foot. The word so rendered (A.V.) in Deu 33:25, min'al , \"a bar,\" is derived from a root meaning \"to bolt\" or \"shut fast,\" and hence a fastness or fortress. The verse has accordingly been rendered \"iron and brass shall be thy fortress,\" or, as in the Revised Version, \"thy bars [marg., \"shoes\"] shall be iron and brass.\"","title":"Easton's Bible Dictionary","type":"page"}
