Naamite

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [1]

(Heb. Neadsmzi', נִעֲמַי ; Sept. Νοεμανί ), a title of the family descended from NAAMAN (See Naaman) (q.v.), the grandson of Benjamin (Numbers 25:40). The name is a contraction, of a kind which does not often occur in Hebrew. Accordingly the Samaritan Codex presents it at length "the Naamanites."

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [2]
