Netophah was a city or group of villages near the town of Bethlehem.
Biblical Importance
Netophah is mentioned in 2 Samuel 23:28-29 as a home of some of David's finest men, and is also mentioned in Ezra 2:22 and 1 Chronicles 9:16 as a place to which the returning exiles came.[1][2]
Although it is certain that the place was near Bethlehem, the modern site cannot be identified.[3] Some scholars have identified it with modern-day Umm Tuba.[4]
