Usage: The name Shobak appears in the context of a military leader who served under King Hadadezer. He is mentioned in the narrative of David's battles against the Arameans.

Context: Shobak was a prominent military commander under Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, during the time of King David. His role is highlighted in the biblical account of David's military campaigns against the Arameans. Shobak is specifically mentioned in 2 Samuel 10:16-18, where he leads the Aramean forces in battle against Israel. The text describes how Shobak, along with other Aramean kings, gathered their armies to confront David's forces. Despite their efforts, the Arameans were defeated by the Israelites, and Shobak was killed in the battle. This defeat marked a significant victory for David, further establishing his dominance over the surrounding nations and securing his kingdom. The account of Shobak's defeat underscores the theme of divine favor and protection over David and Israel, as well as the futility of opposing God's anointed king.
