Subjects in this Topic:
ZUPH.—1. An ancestor of Samuel (1Sa_1:1, 1Ch_6:35 (20); called in 1Ch_6:26 (11) Zophai). 2. The land of Zuph (1Sa_9:5) probably derived its name from having been originally settled by the family of Zuph. The gentilic name Zuphite probably underlies the name Ramathaim-zophim of 1Sa_1:1. No known site can be said to contain any certain trace of the name Zuph.
