Where is Meronothites in the Bible?

The Meronothites were inhabitants of Meroth, a location in ancient Israel that appears in biblical records primarily through two individuals associated with the term. Jehdeiah the Meronothite served King David as the official in charge of his donkeys, as recorded in 1 Chronicles 27:30, indicating the place had enough prominence to be noted in the royal administration. Jadon the Meronothite is mentioned in Nehemiah 3:7 as one of the workers who helped repair the wall of Jerusalem following the return from exile. While the exact location of Meroth is not definitively identified on modern maps, its mention in these accounts shows it was a recognizable town in biblical Israel with residents who held positions of responsibility in both the royal court and in Jerusalem's restoration efforts.
