Old Testament
Argob
A region in Bashan conquered by Israel and later a location associated with a conspiracy in Samaria.
Argob refers primarily to a district in Bashan taken by the Israelites from Og, the king of Bashan. It is described as containing sixty fortified cities with high walls and gates. In 2 Kings 15:25, the name appears again as the location of a conspiracy against King Pekahiah of Israel, though it is unclear if this refers to the same geographical region or a person involved in the plot.
