(30) Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite.—Obil’s name means either “owner of camels” or “a good manager of camels,” answering exactly to the Arabic ‘âbil. (Comp. Gen_37:25; Jdg_7:12.) An “Ishmaelite,” i.e., an Arab, would be the fittest person for looking after camels.
The asses.—The she-asses. (Comp. Gen_49:14; Jdg_5:10; Zec_9:9.)

Whether the word Obil (lybiwOa), is a proper name or not, it signifies "a tender of camels" by derivation. The task suited the Ishmaelite, no doubt! Nothing is known of the Meronothite, nor of the situation of the place called Meronoth, unless anything may be conjectured from Neh_3:7.
