It is associated with a king of Lachish, a city in the Shephelah region of ancient Judah. The name Yaphia carries the connotation of brightness or beauty, reflecting the root meaning of "to shine."<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the ancient Near East, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or destiny. Lachish was a significant city-state during the time of the Israelite conquest and the period of the divided monarchy. It was strategically important due to its location and fortifications. The mention of Yaphia as a king of Lachish situates him within the broader narrative of the Israelite conquest of Canaan, as recorded in the book of Joshua.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3313.htm">yapha</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a king of Lachish, also a son of David, also a place on the border of Zebulun<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Japhia (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">יָפִיעַ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, person and location</b></font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1. masculine person</b></font> (compare Sabean <font class="hebrew2">יפעאל</font> Hal<sup>150</sup>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>a.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a king of Lachish</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/10-3.htm">Joshua 10:3</a>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιεφθα</font>, A <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιαφ</font>(<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">α</font>)<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">ιε</font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>b.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a son of David</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/5-15.htm">2 Samuel 5:15</a> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιεφιες</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ναφεθ</font>) = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/3-7.htm">1 Chronicles 3:7</a> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιανουε</font> A <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιαφιε</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Αχικαμ</font>) = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/14-6.htm">1 Chronicles 14:6</a> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιανουου</font>, A <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιαφιε</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιαβεγ</font>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2. proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>on border of Zebulun</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/19-12.htm">Joshua 19:12</a>, perhaps = modern <em>Yâfa</em>, 1/2 hour from Nazareth, Rob<sup>BR ii. 343 f</sup>, but <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Φαγγαι</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιαφαψαὶ</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιαφφιε.</font> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Japhia <p>From <a href="/hebrew/3313.htm">yapha'</a>;
