NETOPHAH.—A town, the name of which first occurs in the list of the exiles who returned under Zerubbabel (Ezr_2:22 = Neh_7:26 = 1Es_5:18 Netophas). Perhaps the name is preserved in the modern Beit Nettif at the entrance to the Wady es-Sunt or Vale of Elah. The gentilic name the Netophathite(s) occurs in 2Sa_23:28 f., 2Ki_25:23, Jer_40:8.
