Strong's Lexicon Madon: Madon Original Word: מָדוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root word דִּין (din), meaning "to judge" or "to contend." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun Madon, as it is specific to the Old Testament narrative. However, the concept of conflict or strife can be related to Greek words like μάχη (machē - G3163), meaning "battle" or "fight." Usage: Madon is a proper noun referring to a Canaanite city whose king was defeated by Joshua during the conquest of the Promised Land. The name itself is associated with strife or contention, reflecting the broader narrative of conflict between the Israelites and the Canaanite inhabitants. Cultural and Historical Background: Madon was one of the cities in northern Canaan that joined a coalition against Israel under the leadership of Jabin, king of Hazor. This coalition was formed in response to the Israelite incursion into Canaan, as described in the Book of Joshua. The defeat of Madon and its allies was part of the larger campaign led by Joshua to secure the land promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
