(Heb. Che’pher, , a well, or shame; Sept. or , and , but in 1Ch 1:6), the name of a city and of three men. SEE GATH-HEPHER.<\/p>\n
1. A royal city of the Canaanites captured by Joshua (Jos 12:17); probably the same district as the land of Hepher, in the vicinity of Sochoh and Aruboth, assigned to Ben-Hesed, one of Solomon’s table- purveyors (1Ki 4:10). The locality thus indicated would seem to be in the vicinity of Um-Burj, south of Suweicheh.<\/p>\n
2. The youngest son of Gilead, and great-grandson of Manasseh (Num 26:32). He was the father of Zelophehad (Num 27:1; Jos 17:2-3), and his descendants are called HEPHERITES (Num 26:32). B.C. ante 1618.<\/p>\n
3. The second son of Ashur (a descendant of Judah) by one of his wives, Naarah (1Ch 4:6). B.C. cir. 1612.<\/p>\n
4. A Mecherathite, one of David’s heroes, according to 1Ch 11:36; but the text is apparently corrupt, so that this name is either an interpolation, or identical with the ELIPHALET of 2Sa 23:34. See UR.<\/p>\n
This place Trelawney Saunders (Map of the O.T.) identifies with Khurbet Kafir, which the Ordnance Map lays down eight miles northwest of Hebron (and three miles east of Um-Burj, the neighborhood which we had conjecturally assigned), and the Memoirs describe (3:355) as “foundations and heaps of stones. It has the appearance of an old site, and an ancient road passes it.”<\/p>\n
