Where is Madon in the Bible?
Madon was a Canaanite city located in the region of Galilee, in northern ancient Israel west of the Sea of Galilee. Its king participated in a military coalition organized by Jabin of Hazor to resist Joshua's conquest of Canaan, as recorded in Joshua 11:1 and 12:19. Joshua defeated this alliance, and Madon was among the conquered cities, marking an important stage in Israel's settlement of the promised land. The exact location of Madon remains uncertain, though scholars have proposed identifications with sites such as Meiron, a village with ancient ruins located at the foot of Jebel Jermuk in Galilee.

ISBE 1915 (Public Domain)9)): A royal city of the Canaanites named along with Hazor of Galilee. El-Medineh, "the city," on the heights West of the Sea of Galilee, with which it might possibly be identified, probably dates only from Moslem times. It seems likely that the common confusion of the Hebrew letter daleth ("d") for the Hebrew letter resh ("r") has occurred, and that we should read "Maron." The place may be then identified with Meiron, a village with ancient ruins and rock tombs at the foot of Jebel Jermuk, a little to the Northwest of Safed.
