Where Tob appears in Scripture
וַיִּבְרַח יִפְתָּח מִפְּנֵי אֶחָיו וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּאֶרֶץ טוֹב וַיִּֽתְלַקְּטוּ אֶל-יִפְתָּח אֲנָשִׁים רֵיקִים וַיֵּֽצְאוּ עִמּֽוֹ׃
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר-נִלְחֲמוּ בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן עִם-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֵּֽלְכוּ זִקְנֵי גִלְעָד לָקַחַת אֶת-יִפְתָּח מֵאֶרֶץ טֽוֹב׃
And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
וַיִּרְאוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן כִּי נִבְאֲשׁוּ בְּדָוִד וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וַיִּשְׂכְּרוּ אֶת-אֲרַם בֵּית-רְחוֹב וְאֶת-אֲרַם צוֹבָא עֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף רַגְלִי וְאֶת-מֶלֶךְ מַֽעֲכָה אֶלֶף אִישׁ וְאִישׁ טוֹב שְׁנֵים-עָשָׂר אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃
And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelve thousand men.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ מִלְחָמָה פֶּתַח הַשָּׁעַר וַֽאֲרַם צוֹבָא וּרְחוֹב וְאִֽישׁ-טוֹב וּמַֽעֲכָה לְבַדָּם בַּשָּׂדֶֽה׃
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
