nā´fish ( נפישׁ , nāphı̄sh ; Ναφές , Naphés , D, Ναφέθ , Naphéth ): A son of Ishmael ( Genesis 25:15; 1 Chronicles 1:31 ). 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).
