<p> ''''' ja ''''' - ''''' fı̄´a ''''' , ''''' jaf´i ''''' - ''''' a ''''' ( יפיע , <i> ''''' yāphı̄a‛ ''''' </i> , perhaps "tall"; compare Arabic; Ἰέφθα , <i> ''''' Iéphtha ''''' </i> ): </p> <p> (1) King of Lachish, one of the 5 "kings of the Amorites" who allied themselves together in an expedition against [[Gibeon]] on account of its treaty with the [[Israelites]] (&nbsp;Joshua 10:3-5 ). After their discomfiture by Joshua in the battle of Beth-horon (&nbsp;Joshua 10:10 ), "one of the most important in the history of the world" (Stanley), they fled and hid themselves in the cave at [[Makkedah]] (&nbsp;Joshua 10:16 ). As Joshua passed, he was informed of this, but, unwilling to delay his pursuit of the fugitives, he ordered great stones to be rolled unto the mouth of the cave, leaving a guard in charge (&nbsp;Joshua 10:17 f). On the completion of his victory, Joshua returned to Makkedah and commanded the Israelites to bring forth the imprisoned kings, and summoned the chiefs of his army to plant their feet upon their necks. Then he put them to death; and after he had hung their bodies on 5 trees, he ordered the Israelites in the evening to take them down and cast them into the cave (&nbsp; Joshua 10:22-27 ). </p> <p> (2) [[Septuagint]] Ἰεφιές , <i> ''''' Iephiés ''''' </i> , Ἰαφιέ , <i> ''''' Iaphié ''''' </i> ): One of the sons of David who were born to him at [[Jerusalem]] (&nbsp; 2 Samuel 5:15; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:7; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 14:6 ). </p>
<p> ''''' ja ''''' - ''''' fı̄´a ''''' , ''''' jaf´i ''''' - ''''' a ''''' ( יפיע , <i> ''''' yāphı̄a‛ ''''' </i> ): A town on the southern boundary of Zebulun named with Chisloth-tabor and [[Daberath]] (&nbsp; Joshua 19:12 ). It is represented by the modern <i> ''''' Yāfā ''''' </i> , about 1 1/2 miles Southwest of Nazareth, near the foot of the hills. It was one of the places fortified by [[Josephus]] ( <i> Vita </i> , 45; <i> BJ </i> , II, xx, 6). </p>

<p> Its modern representative, Yafa, lies one and a half miles south-west of Nazareth. It contains no ancient remains, except a few broken columns, and about thirty cisterns. For a description of the numerous grain-pits cut in the rocks see the Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey, 1:353 sq. </p>
