Subjects in this Topic:
MANAHATH.—1. Mentioned only in 1Ch_8:5 as the place to which certain Benjamite clans were carried captive. The town is probably identical with that implied in Manahathites (wh. see), with the Manochô of the Gr. text of Jos_15:59, and if the text in Jg. is correct, with the Menuhah of Jdg_20:43 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] . 2. Gen_36:23 (P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] ), 1Ch_1:40 ‘son of Shobal, son of Seir, the Horite,’ i.e. eponymous ancestor of a clan of Edom, or of the earlier population conquered and absorbed by Edom.
