Ishbah

Ish'bah (Hebrew Yzshbach, יַשבָּח, praiser; Sept. Ι᾿εσαβά), a descendant of Judah, and founder ("father") of Eshtemoa (q.v.); he probably was a son of Mered by his wife Hodiah (1Ch 4:17). B.C. post 1612. SEE MEFRED. He is perhaps the same as ISHI SEE ISHI (q.v.) in verse 20, and apparently identical with the NAHAM SEE NAHAM (q.v.) of ver. 19.
