HOBAH

(Heb. ḥôḇâ)

The site of the rout of Lot’s captors by Abraham’s forces N of Damascus (Gen. 14:15). Hobah is best equated with the region of Apu (Upu/Ube) known from Egyptian texts and situated around and to the north of Damascus. The Choba mentioned in LXX Judith (Jdt. 4:4; 15:4-5) may be identified with this Hobah, but it might also be the Cabul of Josh. 19:27 (LXX Choba; cf. 1 Kgs. 9:13) located in the western part of the lower Galilee (modern Kabul).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
