Hobab: Beloved, the Kenite, has been usually identified with Jethro (q.v.),
(Exodus 18:5,27) comp.
(Numbers 10:29,30) In
(Judges 4:11) the word rendered
"father-in-law" means properly any male relative by marriage (comp.)
(Genesis 19:14) ("son-in-law," A.V.), and should be rendered
"brother-in-law," as in the R.V. His descendants followed Israel to
Canaan
(Numbers 10:29) and at first pitched their tents near Jericho, but
afterwards settled in the south in the borders of Arad
(Judges 1:8-11,16)
