MAON (Place)

Chief town in the hill country of Judah (Jos 15:55), about nine miles (14.5 kilometers) south of Hebron. David and his men hid in this area while fleeing from Saul (1 Sm 23:24-25), and David’s wife Abigail was from this town (25:2-3). It has been identified with modern Tell Ma’in, where pottery was found dating from the time of David.
