  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Maon 
  habitation,  a  town  in  the  tribe  of  Judah,  about  7  miles  south  of 
  Hebron,  which  gave  its  name  to  the  wilderness,  the  district 
  round  the  conical  hill  on  which  the  town  stood.  Here  David  hid 
  from  Saul,  and  here  Nabal  had  his  possessions  and  his  home  (1 
  Sam.  23:24,  25;  25:2).  "Only  some  small  foundations  of  hewn 
  stone,  a  square  enclosure,  and  several  cisterns  are  now  to  be 
  seen  at  Maon.  Are  they  the  remains  of  Nabal's  great 
  establishment?"  The  hill  is  now  called  Tell  M'ain.
