nā ´- a - ma - thı̄t , nā́ - am ´- a - thı̄t ( נעמתי , na‛ămāthı̄ , "a dweller in Naaman"; ὁ ρ Ο2 Μπ ( ε ) ιναίων βασιλεύς , ho M ( e ) inaı́ōn basileús ): The description of Zophar, one of Job's friends ( Job 2:11; Job 11:1; Job 20:1 , etc.). 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."
