Usage: The term Ish-Tob is used in the context of a geographical location or people group in the Old Testament. It appears in the narrative concerning Jephthah and the Ammonite war.

Context: Ish-Tob is mentioned in the context of the biblical narrative found in the Book of Judges. It refers to a region or group of people located in the area of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. The term is specifically used in Judges 11:3, where Jephthah, a mighty warrior, flees from his brothers and settles in the land of Tob. Here, Jephthah gathers a group of adventurers around him. The people of Tob later play a role in the conflict between the Israelites and the Ammonites, as Jephthah is called upon to lead the Israelites in battle. The region of Tob is also mentioned in 2 Samuel 10:6,8, where the Ammonites hire mercenaries from Tob to fight against King David's forces. The historical and geographical details of Ish-Tob remain somewhat obscure, but it is understood to be a place of refuge and a source of military support during the biblical period.
