Places of the Bible
Tob
from harper; now et-Taiyibeh
Where the name appears
Events told in passages that name Tob, and how many of their verses do. That is not the same as saying they happened here: a place can be named as a landmark, as somewhere being travelled to, or as the subject of a prophecy.
