Mekonah is mentioned only once in Scripture as a settlement in the territory of Judah during the post-exilic period. The name appears in the genealogical record of those who returned from Babylonian captivity and repopulated the land of Israel under Nehemiah's leadership.
Key Scriptures

Application
Mekonah's mention reminds us that God's restoration extends to even the smallest communities, and every believer has a place in God's redemptive plan.
