man?a-hath-ı̄ts (מנוּחות, menūḥōth (1Ch_2:52), מנחתּי, mānaḥtı̄ (1Ch_2:54); Septuagint: Codex Vaticanus Μωναιώ, Mōnaiṓ; Codex Alexandrinus Ἀμμανίθ, Ammanı́th (1Ch_2:52); Codex Vaticanus Μαλαθεί, Malatheı́; Codex Alexandrinus Μανάθ, Manáth, (1Ch_2:54); the King James Version, Manahethites): These men were the inhabitants of Manahath. They were descendants of Caleb, one-half being the progeny of Shobal, and the other of Salma. In 1Ch_2:52 the Revised Version (British and American) transliterates ?Menuhoth,? but Manahathites is preferable.
