Usage: Obil is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to an individual who held a position of responsibility in King David's administration. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, camels were valuable assets, especially for trade and transportation across arid regions. The role of a camel tender or overseer was significant, as camels were essential for economic and military logistics. Obil, being an Ishmaelite, reflects the interconnectedness of different ethnic groups within the administration of Israel during King David's reign. The Ishmaelites were descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, and were known for their skills in trade and animal husbandry.
