(may' ohn itess) One of the peoples who oppressed Israel during the period of the judges (Judges 10:12 ). These Maonites are perhaps the Meunites attacked by Hezekiah (1 Chronicles 4:41 ) and Uzziah (2 Chronicles 26:7 ), a band of marauding Arabs from south of the Dead Sea in the vicinity of Ma'an. The earliest Greek translation reads, “Midianites” (REB).
