Madmenah

Madmenah, a place near Jerusalem mentioned in Isaiah's prophecy (Isaiah 10:31).

Madmenah is mentioned in Isaiah 10:31 as a place near Jerusalem, in the context of a prophecy describing the approach of the Assyrian army. The verse states, "Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee" (KJV). The passage suggests that Madmenah was one of the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem that would be affected by the advancing Assyrian threat. However, no further details about the location or significance of Madmenah are provided in the Bible.

Ibid., a town in Benjamin, not far from Jerusalem, towards the north (Isa. 10:31). The same Hebrew word occurs in Isa. 25:10, where it is rendered “dunghill.” This verse has, however, been interpreted as meaning “that Moab will be trodden down by Jehovah as teben [broken straw] is trodden to fragments on the threshing-floors of Madmenah.”
