Strong's Lexicon Maon: Maon Original Word: מָעוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָוָה (aw-vah), meaning "to bend" or "to dwell." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Maon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of a "dwelling" or "habitation" can be related to Greek terms such as οἶκος (oikos, G3624) meaning "house" or "dwelling." Usage: 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
