Manahathites
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Manahathites (Rv [Note: Revised Version.] Menuhoth in 1 Chronicles 2:52 ), 1 Chronicles 2:54 . The genealogy in these two passages is to be interpreted as meaning that the city Manahath , occupied by portions of two sections of the Edomite clan Caleb, came to be reckoned to Judah.

man´a - hath - ı̄ts ( מנוּחות , menūḥōth ( 1 Chronicles 2:52 ), מנחתּי , mānaḥtı̄ ( 1 Chronicles 2:54 ); Septuagint: Codex Vaticanus Μωναιώ , Mōnaiṓ ; Codex Alexandrinus Ἀμμανίθ , Ammanı́th ( 1 Chronicles 2:52 ); Codex Vaticanus Μαλαθεί , Malatheı́ ; Codex Alexandrinus Μανάθ , Manáth , ( 1 Chronicles 2:54 ); the King James Version, Manahethites ): These men were the inhabitants of Manahath. They were descendants of Caleb, one-half being the progeny of Shobal, and the other of Salma. In 1 Chronicles 2:52 the Revised Version (British and American) transliterates "Menuhoth," but Manahathites is preferable.
