See Clarke on Jos 15:53<\/span>.<\/P> <\/P> Hepher<\/B><\/I>] The same, according to Calmet, as Ophrah<\/I> in the tribe of Benjamin, Jos 18:23<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n The king of Tappuah, one<\/strong>,…. Which Jerom calls l Thaffu; it signifies an apple, and perhaps had its name from plenty of that fruit that grew there: a city of this name fell to the tribe of Judah,<\/p>\n Jos 15:34<\/span>; where also was another place called Bethtappuah,<\/p>\n Jos 15:53<\/span>; and both different from another Tappuah on the border of Manasseh, which belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, Jos 17:8<\/span>; by some thought to be meant here:<\/p>\n the king of Hepher, one<\/strong>; mention is made of Gittahhepher as on the border of Zebulun, Jos 19:13<\/span>; the same with Gathhepher, of which place was the Prophet Jonah, 2Ki 14:25<\/span>; and of the land of Hepher in 1Ki 4:10<\/span>; which is said by Jerom to be in the same tribe, and not far from Diocaesarea or Zippore; and we read of a Chepher or Hepher in the Jewish writings m, which, according to the account of it there given, could not be far from the same place, at least it must be less than twelve miles from it.<\/p>\n l De loc.

It is difficult to say which of the two is here spoken of; perhaps the last: what would incline to this opinion is, that the king of Tappuah <\/em>is named immediately after the king of Beth-el, a city placed on the confines of Ephraim and Benjamin, and before the king of Hepher, a city of the tribe of Zebulun, not far from Beth-el. Calmet places Tappuah in the tribe of Judah. <\/p>\n The king of Hepher<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> The land of Hepher <\/em>is spoken of, 1Ki 4:10<\/span>.
