About Zophah

Zophah is mentioned in the genealogy of the tribe of Asher in 1Ch.7.35-36. He is listed as one of the sons of Hotham (or 'Helem'), along with his brothers Imna, Shelesh, and Amal. The genealogy in this chapter traces the lineage of several clans within the tribe of Asher, highlighting their descendants and the heads of their families. The mention of Zophah and his brothers suggests that they were significant figures within the clan of Hotham. However, the text does not provide any additional information about Zophah's life, role, or accomplishments within the tribe of Asher.
