Obil
(Heb. Obil’, , from the Arabic abal, an overseer of camels; Sept. v v. r. and , Vulg. Ubil), an Ishriaelite, or Arab, doubtless of the nomade tribes, who had charge of the royal camels in the time of David an exceedingly fit employment for an Arab (1Ch 27:30). As the name means in Arabic a keeper of camels, Jerome (2:2) infers that the person had his name from his office, which has always been a very common circumstance in the East (see Bochart, Hieroz. I, 2:2).
