The district was governed by Ben-Deker and included Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan. Its location or significance of Makaz are provided in the Bible. It was likely a town or village within the territory of Judah, but its exact location is unknown.

    Makaz is named in 1 verse — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
