Joshua15:55
Maon - In a desert to which this town gave name, David took refuge for a considerable time from the persecution of Saul; and in this place Nabal the Carmelite had great possessions. See 1Sam 23:24, 1Sam 23:25; 1Sam 25:2.
Carmel - Not the celebrated mount of that name, but a village, the residence of Nabal. See 1Sam 25:2. It was near Maon, mentioned above, and was about ten miles eastward of Hebron. It is the place where Saul erected a trophy to himself after the defeat of the Amalekites; see 1Sam 15:12.
Ziph - See on Jos 15:24 (note).
