People from Mezoba(?)
The Mezobaites were the people group of Jaasiel, one of David's mighty warriors (1Ch.11.47).
The Mezobaites are mentioned briefly in the book of 1 Chronicles as the people group to which Jaasiel, one of David's mighty warriors, belonged (1Ch.11.47). Jaasiel is listed among the warriors who came to David at Ziklag and helped him in his battles. No further information is provided about the Mezobaites, their location, or their relationship to Israel. The name "Mezobaite" may refer to a particular place or region, but the Bible does not give any details about its location or significance.
