Manahath
Manahath
(Heb. Mana’chath, , rest), the name of a man and of a place.
1. (Sept. .) The second named of the five sons of Shobal, the son of Seir the Horite (Gen 36:23; 1Ch 1:40). B.C. cir. 1927.
2. (Sept. v. r. .) A town or region to which certain descendants of Ehud, of the tribe of Benjamin, appear to have been exiled from Geba by an act of his father Bela (1Ch 8:6). The context would seem to indicate some locality in the land of Moab. SEE SHAHARAIM. Some refer it to the MENUCHAH of Judah (Jdg 9:43, A. Vers. with ease; comp. 1Ch 2:52; 1Ch 2:54), but with little probability. SEE MENUCHITE.

Manahath
1. Gen 36:23. Ptolemy (v. 17, sec. 3) mentions Manychiates W. of Petra:
2. 1Ch 8:6-8; “the heads of the fathers of Geba, they removed them (led them captive, Qeri) to Manahath,” “they,” namely, Naaman, Ahiah, and Gera, and of these three Gera in particular, “he removed them” (led them captive). Manahath is connected possibly with the Manahethites (1Ch 2:52; 1Ch 2:54) in Judah.

Manahath
MANAHATH.1. Mentioned only in 1Ch 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 Manoch of the Gr. text of Jos 15:59, and if the text in Jg. is correct, with the Menuhah of Jdg 20:43 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] . 2. Gen 36:23 (P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] ), 1Ch 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.

Manahath
mana-hath (, manahath; , Machanath):
(1) A place to which certain Benjamites, victims, apparently, of intra-tribal jealousy, were carried captive (1Ch 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 (Jos 15:59). This place is named along with Bether (Bittir). The name seems to be preserved in that of Maliha, 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 (Jdg 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 (Gen 36:23; 1Ch 1:40), the name-father of one of the ancient tribes in Mt. Seir, afterward subdued and incorporated in Edom.
