From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ophir       (1.) One of the sons of Joktan (Gen. 10:29).                (2.) Some region famous for its gold (1 Kings 9:28; 10:11;       22:48; Job 22:24; 28:16; Isa. 13:12). In the LXX. this word is       rendered "Sophir," and "Sofir" is the Coptic name for India,       which is the rendering of the Arabic version, as also of the       Vulgate. Josephus has identified it with the Golden Chersonese,       i.e., the Malay peninsula. It is now generally identified with       Abhira, at the mouth of the Indus. Much may be said, however, in       favour of the opinion that it was somewhere in Arabia.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
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.
