Nahash (father of Shobi)
나하스 (소비의 아버지)
Named at 2 Samuel 17:27 in the words “Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon”. This collection keeps him apart from the Nahash of 17:25 and from Nahash the king of the children of Ammon, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

1After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”
4So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5When they told David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”

2 Samuel 10:1–2 says that the king of the children of Ammon died and Hanun his son reigned in his place, and has David call him “Hanun the son of Nahash”; 17:25 names “Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab’s mother”; and 17:27 names “Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon”. The text does not say whether the Nahash of any two of these passages is the same man. This collection records the three apart and does not decide whether any of them are the same man.
