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.
