NOBAH, or Nobe, or Chanatha, or Canath, a City beyond Jordan. It took the Name of Nobah after an Israelite of this Name had made a Conquest of it, Numb. xxxii. 42. Gideon pursued the Midianites as far as this City, Judg. viii. 2. Eusebius says, that there is a forsaken Place of this Name about eight Miles from Hesbbon towards the South. But this could not be the Nobah now mentioned, because this was much farther to the North.
