Naamathite

Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary

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.

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."
