Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
MEKONAH (AV [Note: Authorized Version.]; RV [Note: Revised Version.] needlessly changes to Meconah), A town inhabited after the Captivity ( Nehemiah 11:28 ). The site has not been identified.
Smith's Bible Dictionary [2]
Mek'onah. (foundation). One of the towns which were reinhabited, after the captivity by the men of Judah. Nehemiah 11:28.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary [3]
("base".) A town with daughter villages, reinhabited after the captivity by men of Judah (Nehemiah 11:28). Coupled with Ziklag which was in the far S.
Morrish Bible Dictionary [4]
City inhabited on the return from exile. Nehemiah 11:28 . Identified by some with ruins at el Mekenna, 31 47' N, 34 51' E .
Holman Bible Dictionary [5]
Nehemiah 11:281 Chronicles 2:49
Easton's Bible Dictionary [6]
Nehemiah 11:28
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [7]
(Hebrews Mekonah', מֲכֹנָה, a base, as in 1 Kings 7:27, etc.; Sept. in most editions omits, but v. r. Μαχνά and Μαβνή , Vulg. Mochona), a town in the southern part of the tribe of Judah, and inhabited after the exile (Nehemiah 11:28). From its being coupled (in that passage) with Ziklag,we should infer that it was situated far to the south, while the mention of the" daughter towns" (בְּנוֹת, AV. "villages") dependent on it, seem to show that it was a place of some magnitude. Reland (Palest. p. 892) thinks it may be identical with Mechanum, a village located by Jerome between Eleutheropolis and Jerusalem, eight miles from the former (Onomast. s.v. Bethmacha). It seems strange that Jerome should speak of a village south of Jerusalem when describing Beth-maachah, which lay at the northern extremity of Palestine (2 Samuel 20:14). The only unappropriated site at about the required distance is Jerash, not far north- east of Beit Nettif (Robinson, Researches, 2:342, note).
