And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name — Nobah (possibly another Manassite leader) conquers Kenath and its dependent settlements, renaming the city after himself. The pattern of personal conquest and renaming suggests that the settlement of Transjordan involved multiple overlapping military campaigns and territorial claims, reflecting the complex reality of ancient land-taking.
