(1 Chronicles 19:6): A district south of Damascus, bordering on the trans-Jordanic territory of Manasseh. Maachah is said in Genesis 22:24 to have been a descendant of Nahor, Abraham's brother, and the territory called after him is declared in Joshua 13:13 not to have been conquered in the first Israelitish settlement of Canaan. David made its petty king tributary (2 Samuel 10:6-8), and by the time of the chronicler, Maachah was regarded as an ancestress of a Manassite clan (1 Chronicles 7:16). Strangely enough, 2 Samuel 10:6 has "king Maacah," which makes it doubtful if Aram-Maachah is the correct form.
