The Jebusites unconquered Maon Maon is a town located in the hill country of Judah. It is significant in biblical history as the home of Nabal, the wealthy but foolish man who refused to help David and his men (1 Samuel 25). This incident led to David's marriage to Abigail, Nabal's wise and discerning wife. The area around Maon is characterized by its rugged terrain, which provided natural fortifications and hiding places, making it a strategic location during David's time as a fugitive from King Saul. The wilderness of Maon is also mentioned in 1 Samuel 23:24-25, where David sought refuge. This region's geography is crucial for understanding the narrative of David's flight and survival. Carmel Ziph Juttah Persons / Places / Events 1. MaonA town in the hill country of Judah. It is known as the home of Nabal, the wealthy but foolish man who refused to help David, and his wise wife Abigail, who later became David's wife (1 Samuel 25). 2. Carmel Not to be confused with Mount Carmel in the north, this Carmel is a town in Judah. It is associated with the account of Nabal and Abigail, as Nabal's business was conducted there. 3. Ziph A town in the hill country of Judah. It is notable for its wilderness, where David hid from King Saul. The Ziphites betrayed David's location to Saul (1 Samuel 23). 4. Juttah A Levitical city in the hill country of Judah. It is mentioned as a city given to the priests (Joshua 21:16). Teaching Points God's Sovereignty in GeographyThe specific mention of these towns in Judah's allotment reminds us that God is sovereign over all places. Each location has a purpose in His divine plan. Wisdom and Folly The account of Nabal and Abigail in Maon and Carmel teaches us the importance of wisdom and discernment in our interactions with others. Trust in God's Protection David's experiences in Ziph encourage us to trust in God's protection and guidance, even when we face betrayal or danger. Service and Worship Juttah's role as a Levitical city underscores the importance of dedicating spaces and resources for worship and service to God.Verse 55. - Maon, Carmel, and Ziph. These, as Dean Stanley reminds us ('Sinai and Palestine,' p. 101), still retain unaltered their old names. "That long line of hills was the beginning of the 'hill country of Judaea,' and when we began to ascend it the first answer to our inquiries after the route told us that it was 'Carmel,' on which Nabal fed his flocks, and close below its long ranges was the hill and ruins of Ziph," close above the hill of Maon, Wilson also ('Lands of the Bible,' 1:380) makes the same remark. Maon is to be remembered as David's hiding place from the enmity of Saul (1 Samuel 23:24-26), and as the home of Nabal (1 Samuel 25:2). Carmel (not the famous mountain of that name) meets us again in the history of Saul and of David (1 Samuel 15:12; 1 Samuel 25:2, 5, 7, 40). The neighbourhood of Ziph was also one of David's hiding places, and is described as a "wilderness" in which there was a "wood" in 1 Samuel 23:15, 19; 1 Samuel 26:1, 2. See also the prologue to Psalm 54. Another Ziph is mentioned in ver. 24. Parallel Commentaries ...
