The Meunites are mentioned in the books of Chronicles as a people group who lived in the vicinity of Israel and were enemies of God's people. In the time of King Hezekiah, the Simeonites attacked and defeated the Meunites, destroying their tents and dwellings (1Ch.4.41). Later, during the reign of King Uzziah, God helped him against the Meunites (2Ch.26.7). In the days of King Jehoshaphat, the Meunites joined with the Moabites and Ammonites to attack Judah, but God caused them to turn against each other, resulting in their defeat (2Ch.20.1, 22-23). The exact location and origin of the Meunites are not specified in the Bible, but they appear to have been a nomadic or semi-nomadic people who lived in the regions east and south of Israel.

These who were noted by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites in their dwellings as well as the Meunites who were there, devoting them to destruction even to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks.
After this, the Moabites and Ammonites, together with some of the Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat.
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites.
