Summary

A town in southern Judah resettled after the Babylonian exile.

Post-Exilic Settlement

Nehemiah lists towns where returning exiles settled: 'They dwelt at... Mekonah, and in the villages thereof' (Nehemiah 11:28). The location was in the Negev region of southern Judah. Its resettlement showed the gradual repopulation of ancestral lands.
