About Madmannah

Madmannah, also referred to as Beth-marcaboth, was a town located in the Negev region of Judah. It is mentioned in the lists of towns allotted to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:31) and the tribe of Simeon (Joshua 19:5; 1Ch.4.31). The name Beth-marcaboth means "house of chariots," suggesting that the town may have been associated with the storage or production of chariots. However, no further details about Madmannah or its significance are provided in the Bible.
