man´a - hath ( מנחת , mānaḥath ; Μαχαναθί , Machanathı́ ):

(1) A place to which certain Benjamites, victims, apparently, of intra-tribal jealousy, were carried captive (1 Chronicles 8:6 ). Of this town the Manahathites were probably natives. It is possibly denoted by Manocho which Septuagint adds to the list of towns in Judah (Joshua 15:59 ). This place is named along with Bether (Bittir ). The name seems to be preserved in that of Māliḥa , a large village not far from Bittir , Southwest of Jerusalem. The change of l to n , and vice versa, is not uncommon. The same place may be intended by Menuhah (Judges 20:43 the Revised Version margin), where the King James Version reads "with ease," and the Revised Version (British and American) "at their resting-place."

(2) One of the sons of Shobal, the son of Seir the Horite (Genesis 36:23; 1 Chronicles 1:40 ), the "name-father" of one of the ancient tribes in Mt. Seir, afterward subdued and incorporated in Edom.
