Netophah
        (distillation), a town the name of which occurs only in the catalogue of those who returned with Zerubbabel from the captivity. Ezr 2:22; Ne 7:26
        1 Esdr. 5:18. But, though not directly mentioned till so late a period, Netophah was really a much older place. Two of David's guard, 1Ch 17:13,15 were Netophathites. The "villages of the Neophathites" were the residence of the Levites. 1Ch 9:16 From another notice we learn that the particular Levites who inhabited these villages were singers. Ne 12:28 To judge from Ne 7:26 the town was in the neighborhood of, or closely connected with, Bethlehem.
