Maon

"Habitation, a town in the tribe of Judah, about 7 miles south of" "Hebron, which gave its name to the wilderness, the district" round the conical hill on which the town stood. Here David hid "from Saul, and here Nabal had his possessions and his home (1" "Sam. 23:24, 25; 25:2). "Only some small foundations of hewn" "stone, a square enclosure, and several cisterns are now to be" seen at Maon. Are they the remains of Nabal's great "establishment?" The hill is now called Tell M'ain."
