Fausets
("dropping".) A town coupled with Bethlehem in Ne 7:26, also in 1Ch 2:54; therefore near it. Two of David's heroes (1Ch 27:1,13,15), captains of two of the 12 monthly military courses, were NETOPHATHITES (2Sa 23:28-29). "Villages of Netophathites" were Levite singers' residences (1Ch 9:16; Ne 12:28). The Targum (1Ch 2:54; Ru 4:20; Ec 3:11) states that they slew the guards whom Jeroboam stationed on the roads to Jerusalem, to intercept the firstfruits from the villages to the temple. The fast on the 23rd Sivan, still in the Jewish calendar, commemorates Jeroboam's opposition. Between Bethlehem and Anathoth. Noticed as "in the wilderness" of Judah in the Acta Sanctorum. Answering to the ruin Metoba. N.E. of Bethlehem on the edge of the Mar Saba desert.
