Machbenah

A place mentioned in the family records of Caleb and Judah (1 Chronicles 2:49). The name Machbenah appears in a list with other geographical locations. It is listed before Gibea, which is probably the same town mentioned in Joshua 15:57. This suggests that Machbenah was likely located in the eastern part of the hill country south of Hebron. This area was known to be inhabited by the descendants of Caleb.
