Naphish

nā´fish (נפישׁ, nāphīsh, "refresher"; Ναφές, Naphés, D, Ναφέθ, Naphéth):

One of the sons of Ishmael (Genesis 25:15; 1 Chronicles 1:31). He was probably the father of an Arab tribe. Naphish, along with other Hagrite clans, was overwhelmingly defeated by the Israelite tribes on the East of the Jordan (1 Chronicles 5:19, the King James Version “Nephish”). Their descendants are mentioned among the Nethinim by the name “Nephisim,” the King James Version and the Revised Version margin “Nephusim” (Ezra 2:50); “Nephushesim,” the King James Version and the Revised Version margin “Nephishesim” (Nehemiah 7:52); “Naphisi” (1 Esdras 5:31).
