Naamathite

From Bible Exegesis

nā´-a-ma-thīt, nā́-am´-a-thīt (נעמתי, na‛ămāthī, “a dweller in Naaman”; ὁ Μ(ε)ιναίων βασιλεύς, ho M(e)inaíōn basileús):

The description of Zophar, one of Job's friends (Job 2:11; Job 11:1; Job 20:1, etc.), so called from some place in Arabia, called Naamah probably. Naamah is too common a place-name to permit of the identification of Zophar's home; the Septuagint renders it as “king of the Minaeans.”
