  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Nob 
  high  place  a  city  of  the  priests,  first  mentioned  in  the 
  history  of  David's  wanderings  (1  Sam.  21:1).  Here  the  tabernacle 
  was  then  standing,  and  here  Ahimelech  the  priest  resided.  (See  {AHIMELECH}.)  From  Isa.  10:28-32  it  seems  to  have  been 
  near  Jerusalem.  It  has  been  identified  by  some  with  el-Isawiyeh, 
  one  mile  and  a  half  to  the  north-east  of  Jerusalem.  But 
  according  to  Isa.  10:28-32  it  was  on  the  south  of  Geba,  on  the 
  road  to  Jerusalem,  and  within  sight  of  the  city.  This 
  identification  does  not  meet  these  conditions,  and  hence  others 
  (as  Dean  Stanley)  think  that  it  was  the  northern  summit  of  Mount 
  Olivet,  the  place  where  David  "worshipped  God"  when  fleeing  from 
  Absalom  (2  Sam.  15:32),  or  more  probably  (Conder)  that  it  was 
  the  same  as  Mizpeh  (q.v.),  Judg.  20:1;  Josh.  18:26;  1  Sam.  7:16, 
  at  Nebi  Samwil  about  5  miles  north-west  of  Jerusalem. 
 
  After  being  supplied  with  the  sacred  loaves  of  showbread,  and 
  girding  on  the  sword  of  Goliath,  which  was  brought  forth  from 
  behind  the  ephod,  David  fled  from  Nob  and  sought  refuge  at  the 
  court  of  Achish,  the  king  of  Gath,  where  he  was  cast  into 
  prison.  (Comp.  titles  of  Ps  34  and  56.) 
 
 
  From  Hitchcock's  Bible  Names  Dictionary  (late  1800's)  [hitchcock]: 
 
  Nob,  discourse;  prophecy
