Hobah was the place north of Damascus to which Abraham pursued the eastern kings. It is important because it marks the surprising reach of Abraham's rescue campaign in Genesis 14. First appears in Gen 14:15.1
AI summary: Hobah matters because the patriarchal story briefly expands into an international pursuit across great distances. The place belongs to the geography of Abraham's courage and victory.1
Hiding-place, a place to the north of Damascus, to which Abraham pursued Chedorlaomer and his confederates (Gen. 14:15). 3
