From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Mahanaim
      two camps, a place near the Jabbok, beyond Jordan, where Jacob
      was met by the "angels of God," and where he divided his retinue
      into "two hosts" on his return from Padan-aram (Gen. 32:2). This
      name was afterwards given to the town which was built at that
      place. It was the southern boundary of Bashan (Josh. 13:26, 30),
      and became a city of the Levites (21:38). Here Saul's son
      Ishbosheth reigned (2 Sam. 2:8, 12), while David reigned at
      Hebron. Here also, after a troubled reign, Ishbosheth was
      murdered by two of his own bodyguard (2 Sam. 4:5-7), who brought
      his head to David at Hebron, but were, instead of being
      rewarded, put to death by him for their cold-blooded murder.
      Many years after this, when he fled from Jerusalem on the
      rebellion of his son Absalom, David made Mahanaim, where
      Barzillai entertained him, his headquarters, and here he
      mustered his forces which were led against the army that had
      gathered around Absalom. It was while sitting at the gate of
      this town that tidings of the great and decisive battle between
      the two hosts and of the death of his son Absalom reached him,
      when he gave way to the most violent grief (2 Sam. 17:24-27).
     
         The only other reference to Mahanaim is as a station of one of
      Solomon's purveyors (1 Kings 4:14). It has been identified with
      the modern Mukhumah, a ruin found in a depressed plain called
      el-Bukie'a, "the little vale," near Penuel, south of the Jabbok,
      and north-east of es-Salt.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

      6:24; Luke 16:9-11).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Manaen
      consoler, a Christian teacher at Antioch. Nothing else is known

      who, with his brother Archelaus, was educated at Rome.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Menahem
      conforting, the son of Gadi, and successor of Shallum, king of
      Israel, whom he slew. After a reign of about ten years (B.C.
      771-760) he died, leaving the throne to his son Pekahiah. His
      reign was one of cruelty and oppression (2 Kings 15:14-22).
      During his reign, Pul (q.v.), king of Assyria, came with a
      powerful force against Israel, but was induced to retire by a
      gift from Menahem of 1,000 talents of silver.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
