| <p> <strong> [[Madmen.]] </strong> [[A]] place in Moab, which, if the [[Mt]] [Note: Massoretic Text.] be correct, has not been identified. The name occurs only in Jeremiah 48:1-47 [Gr. Jeremiah 31:2 ], where there is a characteristic word-play: <em> gam Madmçn tiddômî </em> , ‘also, [[O]] Madmen, thou shalt be brought to silence’ [[(Lxx]] [Note: Septuagint.] <em> kai pausin pausetai </em> ). It is a very natural suggestion that the initial <em> m </em> of <em> [[Madmen]] </em> has arisen by dittography from the final <em> m </em> of the preceding word, and that for <em> Madmen </em> we should read <em> [[Dimon]] </em> (cf. Isaiah 15:9 ), <em> i.e </em> . <em> [[Dibon]] </em> (cf. Jeremiah 48:18 ). Cf. art. Medeba. </p> | | Madmen <ref name="term_36553" /> |

| | <p> [[A]] town of Moat, whose doom Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 48:2) foretells. Playing on the similarly sounding [[Hebrew]] word for silence, damam , "thou city of silence (or Madmen) shalt be brought to silence" ( Isaiah 15:1); in Isaiah 25:10, "Moab ... trodden down for the dunghill" (Μadmenah ), or as the Hebrew text (kethib ), "in the waters of Madmenah," evidently alludes to Madmen, with a play on its meaning "dunghill," the lowest stage of degradation. </p> |

| <p> (Heb. Madmen', מִדְמֵן '', dunghill;'' Sept. παῦσις v. r. Μαδαιβημά, Μαδαμημά '','' and Μαδενηβά; Vulg. ''silens'' )'','' a Moabitish town, threatened with destruction by the sword from the [[Babylonian]] invasion in connection with the neighboring [[Heshbon]] ( Jeremiah 48:2). Some (as Hitzig, after the Sept.,Vulg., etc.) regard it as an appellative; and in some editions of the Auth. Vers. it is actually printed [["O]] madmen!" The slight notice only affords an approximate location opposite the northern extremity of the [[Dead]] Sea. (See [[Madmenah]]). </p>

| <p> ''''' mad´men ''''' ( מדמן , <i> ''''' madhmēn ''''' </i> ; καὶ παῦσιν παύσεται , <i> ''''' kaı́ ''''' </i> <i> ''''' paúsin ''''' </i> <i> ''''' paúsetai ''''' </i> ): An unidentified town in [[Moab]] against which Jeremiah prophesied ( Jeremiah 48:2 ). The play upon the words here suggests a possible error in transcription: <i> '''''gam''''' </i> <i> '''''madhmēn''''' </i> <i> '''''tiddōmı̄''''' </i> , "Also, Madmen, thou shalt be silenced." The initial " <i> [[M]] </i> " of "Madmen" may have arisen by dittography from the last letter of <i> '''''gam''''' </i> . We should then vocalize it as " <i> '''''Dimon''''' </i> ," which of course is "Dibon." </p>
