Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

מָעוֹן m. (from the root עוּן) pl. מְעוּנִים 1 Chronicles 4:41.

(1) a dwelling

(a) of God, used of the temple, Psalms 26:8 of heaven, Psalms 68:6; Deuteronomy 26:15.

(b) of wild beasts, a den, Nahum 2:12; Jeremiah 9:10, 10:22 51:37. Acc. in one’s dwelling, like בֵּית at home, 1 Samuel 2:29, 32 1 Samuel 2:32. Used of a refuge, Psalms 90:1.

(2) [Maon], pr.n.

(a) of a town in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:55; 1 Samuel 25:2, in the vicinity of which was מִדְבַּר־מָעוֹן 1 Samuel 23:24, 25 1 Samuel 23:25.

(b) of an Arabian tribe, in Judges 10:12 connected with the Amalekites, Sidonians, and Philistines, in 2 Chronicles 26:7 with the Arabs, properly so called; plur. מְעוּנִים 2 Ch. loc, cit.; and 1 Chronicles 4:41 קרי. There still exists Maân (معان), a town with a fortress in Arabia Petræa, by the south of the Dead Sea; See Seetzen, in v. Zach’s Monatl. Corresp. xviii, p. 382; and Burckhardt’s Travels in Syria, p. 724, German trans.; and my notes, p. 1069. The Minæi of Arabia are altogether different from these, as was shewn by Bochart, Phaleg. ii. 23. [This place appears rather to be Ma’în معين in the south of Judea, Rob. ii. 193.]

(c) m. 1 Chronicles 2:45.
