Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]
A city of Judah, in the shephelah , or low maritime hills of Judah ( Joshua 15:43). Its meaning "it opens" points to a site at the opening of the hills to the plain. Now Batihah in the Ghuzzeh (Gaza) province (Robinson).
Smith's Bible Dictionary [2]
Jiph'tah. (whom God sets free). One of the cities of Judah, in the Shefelah , or maritime lowland. Joshua 15:43. It has not yet been met with.

(Heb. Yiphtach', יַפְתָּח, the same name as Jephthah; Sept. Ι᾿εφδά ), a town in the "lowland" district of Judah, mentioned between Ashan and Ashmah ( Joshua 15:43), and lying in the southern medial group west of Hebron and east of Eleutheropolis. (See Judah). Some (e.g. Keil, ad loc.) have located it in the mountain district, contrary to the text; but, although the import of the name implies a "defile" adjoining, and the associated names are indicative of naturally strong positions, yet the "plain" or Shephelah (q.v.) here actually comes quite far in this direction to the proper "hill country" (Robinson, Researches , 3, 13). We may therefore presume a location for Jiphtah at the ruined village Jimrin , where a smaller valley runs up south from wady el-Melek (Robinson, 2, 342, note; Van de Velde's Map , ed. 1864).
