Ophni

Ophni is named once in scripture, listed among the towns assigned to the tribe of Benjamin in the allotment of Joshua.

A Town of Benjamin

The boundary roster for Benjamin closes with a tally of twelve cities and their surrounding villages. Ophni stands within the final cluster of names: "and Chephar-ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages" (Jos 18:24).

The verse fixes Ophni among Benjamin's inheritance but offers no further detail — no notice of inhabitants, no later event, no additional reference. Its place in scripture is the place it takes in the tribal list.
