A masculine proper name meaning 'he has judged,' derived from the root shaphat (to judge). Its most prominent bearer is Shaphat son of Adlai, father of the prophet Elisha, who appears repeatedly in the Elijah-Elisha cycle (1 Kgs 19:16, 19; 2 Kgs 3:11; 6:31). Other bearers include a Simeonite spy sent to scout Canaan (Num 13:5), a grandson of Zerubbabel in the Davidic genealogy (1 Chr 3:22), a Gadite chief (1 Chr 5:12), and a herdsman of David over the cattle in the valleys (1 Chr 27:29).
