MANAHATH. 1. Mentioned only in 1 Chronicles 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 Joshua 15:59 , and if the text in Jg. is correct, with the Menuhah of Judges 20:43 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] . 2. Genesis 36:23 (P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] ), 1 Chronicles 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.
