Netophah:

(distillation) a town the name of which occurs only in the catalogue of those who returned with Zerubbabel from the captivity (Ezra 2:22; Nehemiah 7:26; 1 Esdras 5:18). But, though not directly mentioned till so late a period, Netophah was really a much older place. Two of David's guard (1 Chronicles 17:13; 17:15) were Netophathites. The "villages of the Neophathites" were the residence of the Levites (1 Chronicles 9:16). From another notice we learn that the particular Levites who inhabited these villages were singers (Nehemiah 12:28). To judge from Nehemiah 7:26, the town was in the neighborhood of, or closely connected with, Bethlehem.
