However, the concept of a "dwelling" or "habitation" can be related to Greek terms such as οἶκος (oikos, G3624) meaning "house" or "dwelling."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Maon is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific location in the territory of Judah. It is often associated with the wilderness area where David sought refuge from King Saul. The term can also refer to a dwelling or habitation, reflecting its root meaning.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Maon was a town in the hill country of Judah, mentioned in the context of David's flight from Saul. The region was characterized by its rugged terrain and sparse population, making it an ideal place for someone seeking to hide or live in seclusion. The wilderness of Maon is part of the larger Judean Desert, known for its harsh conditions and strategic significance in ancient Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5770b.htm">un</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"habitation," a place in Judah, also a man of Judah, also an enemy of Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Maon (7), Maonites (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">מָעוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name</b></font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1. location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Judah</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/15-55.htm">Joshua 15:55</a> (P), <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/25-2.htm">1 Samuel 25:2</a> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μααν</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μαων</font>), now <em>Ma`în</em> (Buhl<sup>Geogr. 163 and references</sup>), 8 miles south of Hebron; hence <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מִדְבַּר מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/23-24.htm">1 Samuel 23:24</a>,25 (twice in verse), so read also <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/25-1.htm">1 Samuel 25:1</a> (for <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ0</font> <font class="hebrew2">פארן</font>) <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> Th We Dr Bu Klo Kit Löhr; compare <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2. masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Judah</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/2-45.htm">1 Chronicles 2:45</a> (twice in verse), <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μεων</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μαων</font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>3. of a people</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/10-12.htm">Judges 10:12</a> named with Sidonians and Amalek as ancient foes of Israel; possibly intended by writer as = <font class="hebrew2">מְעוּנִים</font> q. v.; many read <font class="hebrew2">מִדְיָן</font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>B</sup> <sup>A</sup> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μαδιαμ</font>); see GFM. — <font class="hebrew2">מְעוֺן</font> see <font class="hebrew2">בֵּית בַּעַל</font> <font class="hebrew2">מְעוֺן</font>; <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/4-41.htm">1 Chronicles 4:41</a> see <font class="hebrew2">מְעוּנִים</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Maon, Maonites <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/4583.htm">ma'own</a>; a residence; Maon, the name of an Israelite and of a place in Palestine -- Maon, Maonites.
