Reference: Madmen (1)

Fausets

A town of Moat, whose doom Jeremiah (Jer 48:2) foretells. Playing on the similarly sounding Hebrew word for silence, damam, "thou city of silence (or Madmen) shalt be brought to silence" (Isa 15:1); in Isa 25:10, "Moab ... trodden down for the dunghill" (Madmenah), or as the Hebrew text (kethib), "in the waters of Madmenah," evidently alludes to Madmen, with a play on its meaning "dunghill," the lowest stage of degradation.
