Taphath

Taphath is named once in the UPDV — as a daughter of Solomon whose marriage is recorded inside the roster of her father's twelve provisioning officers.

A Daughter of Solomon

The notice is parenthetical, embedded in the list that opens Solomon's administrative records: "And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year" (1Ki 4:7). Where the roster reaches the officer over the coastal heights of Dor, the entry pauses to identify his wife: "Ben-abinadab, in all the height of Dor (he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon as wife)" (1Ki 4:11). Taphath is named only here. The text gives her father, her husband, and the region she presided over by marriage — the height of Dor — and nothing more.
