22. Netophah] According to 1Ch_9:16 a town inhabited by priests, the birthplace of two of David’s heroes, Mahari and Haled, 2Sa_23:28-29, and of Seraiah, one of Gedaliah’s supporters, 2Ki_25:23; Jer_40:8 (Ephai). It has been identified by some with Beit Nettîf, 20 miles W. of Bethlehem. But its place in the list between Bethlehem and Anathoth does not favour this theory. In the map of Palestine issued by the Pal. Explor. Fund it is placed due S. of Jerusalem, on the road to Bethlehem, between Mar Elias and Rachel’s Tomb.
