An unknown place in Moab, Jer 48:2 .<\/p>\n
(Heb. Madmen’, , dunghill; Sept. v. r. , , and ; Vulg. silens), a Moabitish town, threatened with destruction by the sword from the Babylonian invasion in connection with the neighboring Heshbon (Jer 48:2). Some (as Hitzig, after the Sept.,Vulg., etc.) regard it as an appellative; and in some editions of the Auth. Vers. it is actually printed O madmen! The slight notice only affords an approximate location opposite the northern extremity of the Dead Sea. SEE MADMENAH.<\/p>\n
ibid., a Moabite town threatened with the sword of the Babylonians (Jer. 48:2<\/span>).<\/p>\n A town of Moat, whose doom Jeremiah (Jer 48:2) foretells. Playing on the similarly sounding Hebrew word for silence, damam, “thou city of silence (or Madmen) shalt be brought to silence” (Isa 15:1); in Isa 25:10, “Moab … trodden down for the dunghill” (Madmenah), or as the Hebrew text (kethib), “in the waters of Madmenah,” evidently alludes to Madmen, with a play on its meaning “dunghill,” the lowest stage of degradation.<\/p>\n (“madness”.) The Easterners regard madmen with a superstitious reverence, as idolatrous worshippers seemed, and true worshippers were really, rapt out of themselves by divine inspiration (1Ki 18:26; 1Ki 18:28; 1Sa 19:21-24). Hence arose the contemptuous sneer as to Jesus (Joh 10:20), “He hath a devil and is mad”; also the designation “mad fellow” applied to the prophet who anointed Jehu (2Ki 9:11), and to Jeremiah (Jer 29:26), and to Paul (Act 26:24-25). David availed himself of this half reverential, half-contemptuous forbearance toward madmen, to save himself at Achish’s court by feigning madness (1Sa 21:13-15).<\/p>\n MADMEN.A place in Moab, which, if the MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] be correct, has not been identified. The name occurs only in Jer 48:1-47 [Gr. Jer 31:2], where there is a characteristic word-play: gam Madmn tiddm, also, O Madmen, thou shalt be brought to silence (LXX [Note: Septuagint.] kai pausin pausetai). It is a very natural suggestion that the initial m of Madmen has arisen by dittography from the final m of the preceding word, and that for Madmen we should read Dimon (cf. Isa 15:9), i.e. Dibon (cf. Jer 48:18). Cf. art. Medeba.<\/p>\n madmen (, madhmen; , ka pausin pausetai): An unidentified town in Moab against which Jeremiah prophesied (Jer 48:2). The play upon the words here suggests a possible error in transcription: gam madhmen tiddom, Also, Madmen, thou shalt be silenced. The initial M of Madmen may have arisen by dittography from the last letter of gam. We should then vocalize it as Dimon, which of course is Dibon.<\/p>\n [Mad’men]<\/p>\n A doomed city of Moab.
