Machbenah appears in the genealogy of Caleb in 1 Chronicles 2:49, said to be "fathered" by Sheva. As with several other names in this list, it most likely stands for a town or clan settlement rather than a literal individual, following the Chronicler's habit of expressing tribal and geographic relationships in father-son language. Its location is unknown.
