James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Naamah


Subjects in this Topic:

NAAMAH.1. Sister of Tubal-cain (Gen_4:22). 2. Mother of Rehoboam (1Ki_14:21; 1Ki_14:31, 2Ch_12:13). 3. A town of Judah in the Shephçlah (Jos_15:37-41). There is no notice of it elsewhere. Zophar the Naamathite is mentioned in Job (Job_2:11 etc.), but there is nothing to connect him with this town. Possibly we may identify Naamah with Naneh, a small mud village on low ground 6 miles south of Ludd (Lydda).
