ZUPH . 1 . An ancestor of Samuel ( 1Sa 1:1 , 1 Chronicles 6:35 (20); called in 1 Chronicles 6:26 (11) Zophai ). 2 . The land of Zuph ( 1 Samuel 9:5 ) probably derived its name from having been originally settled by the family of Zuph. The gentilic name Zuphite probably underlies the name Ramathaim-zophim of 1 Samuel 1:1 . No known site can be said to contain any certain trace of the name Zuph.
