Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary [1]

We read of Zophar the Naamathite,  Job 2:11. The word is derived from the same root as Naaman, and of the same meaning, beautiful. And perhaps he came from Naamah, a city of Judah. (See  Joshua 15:41) But there is no authority to form this conclusion.

Morrish Bible Dictionary [2]

Designation of Zophar, one of Job's friends.  Job 2:11;  Job 11:1;  Job 20:1;  Job 42:9 . The origin of the name is unknown.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [7]

´- 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."
