Nepheg; personal name of a Levite (Exod 6:21) and a son of David (2 Sam 5:15, 1 Chr 3:7, 14:6)
Nepheg appears as the name of two distinct individuals in Scripture. The first is a Levite mentioned in the genealogical records of Exodus 6:21. The second, more prominent figure is a son of David born in Jerusalem, recorded in both Samuel and Chronicles. The name's etymology is uncertain, though BDB notes variant Greek renderings across manuscripts.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A personal name borne by two biblical figures: a Levite from the line of Kohath, and one of David's sons. The transliterations across English, Spanish, French, and German are remarkably consistent (Nepheg, Nefeg, Néfeg), showing this is a straightforward proper name with stable cross-linguistic transmission. Some translations bracket the conjunctive form [ונפג] to indicate morphological complexity. 4×
