Zuph:
(honeycomb) (1.) The land of, a district at which Saul and his servant arrived after passing through the possessions of Shalisha, of Shalim and of the Benjamites. 1 Samuel 9:5 only. It evidently contained the city in which they encountered Samuel, verse 6, and that again was certainly not far from the "tomb of Rachel." It may perhaps be identified with Soba, a well‐known place about seven miles due west of Jerusalem.
(2.) A Kohathite Levite, ancestor of Elkanah and Samuel (1 Samuel 1:1; 1 Chronicles 6:35). In 1 Chronicles 6:26, he is called ZOPHAI. SEE [ZOPHAI].
