It was at, or rather belonging to, Mareshah (; Josephus,  ). This would seem to exclude the possibility of its being, as suggested by Robinson (Bibl. Res.2, 31), at Teles-Safieh, which is not less than eight  miles from Marash, the modern representative of Mareshah. There is a deep valley, which runs past the latter place down to, Beit Jibrin, and thence into the plain of Philistia. This, perhaps, may be the valley of Zephathah (Porter, Handbook, p. 258). Some, however, understand the name Zephathah to be only thatof Zepihath (q.v.), with directive, and render it the valley towards Zephath.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<h2>Zephathah<\/h2>\n<p>a valley in the west of Judah, near Mareshah; the scene of Asa&#8217;s conflict with Zerah the Ethiopian (<span class='bible'>2 Chr. 14:9-13<\/span>).
