Makaz
Solomon had twelve officers feeding his household, and Ben-deker's district took in Makaz, Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh. That one verse is all there is, and the site has never been found.

Makaz appears once, in the list of twelve district officers who supplied provisions for Solomon's royal household, naming the territory under Ben-deker's charge alongside Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh (1 Kings 4:9). Nothing else is known of it, and its site has not been discovered.
