Jaakobah
1:
JAAKOBAH (PERSON) [Heb ya˓ăqōbâ (יַעֲקֹבָה)]. Simeonite family leader (1 Chr 4:36). Jaakobah is included in a list of Simeonites who migrated to “the entrance of Gedor” (v 39, the RSV follows the MT; however, the LXX reading “Gerar” is usually favored) in search of suitable grazing for their flocks. The Chronicler attributes this movement to the time of King Hezekiah of Judah (715–687/86). According to Noth (IPN, 177–78, 197) the name means “may (the deity) protect.”
