Tob:

good; goodness

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Tob:

(good) The land of, a place in which Jephthah took refuge when expelled from home by his half‐brother (Judges 11:3) and where he remained, at the head of a band of freebooters, till he was brought back by the sheikhs of Gilead, verse 5. The narrative implies that the land of Tob was not far distant from Gilead; at the same time, from the nature of the case it must have lain out toward the eastern deserts. It is undoubtedly mentioned again in 2 Samuel 10:6; 10:8 as Ishtob, i.e. man of Tob, meaning, according to a common Hebrew idiom, the men of Tob. After a long interval it appears again, in the Maccabaean history, (1 Maccabees 5:13) in the names Tobie and Tubieni (2 Maccabees 12:17). No identification of the ancient, district with any modern one has yet been attempted.
