Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term "Netophathite," as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical and genealogical identity within the context of the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The term "Netophathite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to individuals from the town of Netophah. It appears in genealogical and military contexts, identifying certain individuals as belonging to this location.

Context: The term "Netophathite" refers to individuals associated with the town of Netophah, which is mentioned in the context of the post-exilic return to Judah and in the lists of David's mighty men. Netophah is believed to have been a small town or village in the region of Judah, near Bethlehem. The Netophathites are noted for their contributions to the military and religious life of Israel.

In the genealogical records, Netophathites are listed among those who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel, as seen in Ezra 2:22 and Nehemiah 7:26. This indicates their continued presence and significance in the post-exilic community.

The Netophathites are also mentioned in the context of King David's reign. Two of David's mighty warriors, Maharai and Heleb (or Heled), are identified as Netophathites in 2 Samuel 23:28-29 and 1 Chronicles 11:30. This highlights their role in the military exploits and the establishment of David's kingdom.

The town of Netophah itself is not extensively described in the biblical text, but its inhabitants, the Netophathites, are recognized for their loyalty and service to the nation of Israel, both in times of war and in the restoration of the community after the exile.
