MADMANNAH. A town in the Negeb of Judah ( Joshua 15:31 ), named with Hormah and Ziklag. Its place is taken in Joshua 19:5 etc., by Beth-marcaboth . No satisfactory identification has been suggested. Conder mentions Umm Demineh N. of Beersheba, but does not think it suitable.

Smith's Bible Dictionary [8]
Madman'nah. (dunghill). One of the towns in the south district of Judah. Joshua 15:31. In the time of Eusebius and Jerome, it was called Menois, and was not far from Gaza. The first stage southward from Gaza is now el-Minyay, which is perhaps, the modern representative of Menois, and therefore, of Madmannah.
