Meronothite
Meronothite
(Hebrews Meronothi’, , gentile from . Meronoth’, signif. uncertain, a place elsewhere unknown; Sept. or , ,Vulg. Meronothites), an epithet applied to Jehdeiah, the herdsman of the royal asses in the time of David and Solomon (1Ch 27:30), and also to Jadon, one of those who repaired the walls of Jerusalem (Neh 3:7); apparently as being natives of some town called MERONOTH, of the position or existence of which no other notice is extant, but from the latter passage it may be conjectured to have lain not far from Gibeon and Mizpah, and appears to have been inhabited after the captivity.

Meronothite
me-rontht, me-rono-tht (, meronoth, root meaning fertility): The designation of two persons in the Old Testament:
(1) Jehdeiah, who was in charge of the royal asses under David (1Ch 27:30).
(2) Jadon who was among the repairers of the wall under Nehemiah (Neh 3:7). No place of the name Meronoth can be identified. That Jadon worked on the wall near Gibeonites and Mizpahites affords no clear clue to the place, unless it be shown that there was some geographical rota in the wall repairers.
