(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).
