    Madmenah is mentioned in Isaiah 10:31 as a place near Jerusalem, in the context of a prophecy describing the approach of the Assyrian army. The verse states, "Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee" (KJV). The passage suggests that Madmenah was one of the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem that would be affected by the advancing Assyrian threat. However, no further details about the location or significance of Madmenah are provided in the Bible.
