1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Ophrah
   a fawn. 1 Chr. 4:14. (1.) A city of Benjamin (Josh. 18:23);
   probably identical with Ephron (2 Chr. 13:19) and Ephraim (John
   11:54).
   
     (2.) "Of the Abi-ezrites." A city of Manasseh, 6 miles
   south-west of Shechem, the residence of Gideon (Judg. 6:11;
   8:27, 32). After his great victory over the Midianites, he slew
   at this place the captive kings (8:18-21). He then assumed the
   function of high priest, and sought to make Ophrah what Shiloh
   should have been. This thing "became a snare" to Gideon and his
   house. After Gideon's death his family resided here till they
   were put to death by Abimelech (Judg. 9:5). It is identified
   with Ferata.
