Japhia:
(splendid).
(1.) King of Lachish at the time of the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites (Joshua 10:3). (B.C. 1450)
(2.) One of the sons of David born to him in Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5:15; 1 Chronicles 3:7; 14:6). (B.C. 1046)
(3.) The boundary of Zebulun ascended from Daberath to Japhia, and thence passed to Gath‐hepher (Joshua 19:12). Yafa, two miles south of Nazareth, is not unlikely to be identical with Japhin.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
