JARMUTH.—1. A royal city of the Canaanites (Jos_10:3 etc.), in the Shephçlab, assigned to Judah (Jos_15:35). It is probably identical with ‘Jermucha’ of the Onomasticon, 10 Roman miles from Elentheropolis, on the Jerusalem road. This is now Khirbet Yarmûk, between Wâdy es-Sarûr and Wâdy es-Sant, about 8 miles N. of Beit Jibrîn. 2. A city in Issachar, allotted to the Gershonite Levites (Jos_21:29, LXX [Note: Septuagint.] B Remmath). It corresponds to Ramoth in 1Ch_6:73, and Remeth appears in Jos_19:21 among the cities of Issachar. Guthe suggests er-Râmeh, about 11 miles S. W. of Jenîn, but this is uncertain.

jar?muth (ירמוּת, yarmūtȟ:
(1) A city of the Canaanites in the Shephelah (Jos_15:35) of Judah whose ?king,? Piram, joined the league of the ?five kings? against Joshua (Jos_10:3-5), was defeated at Gibeon and slain at Makkedah (Jos_10:23). One of the 31 ?kings? defeated in Joshua' s campaign (Jos_12:11). In Jos_15:35 it is mentioned in conjunction with Adullam, Socoh and Azekah, and in Neh_11:29 with Zorah, Zanoah and Adullam. Cheyne (Encyclopedia Biblica) suggests that the ?Maroth? of Mic_1:12 may be a copyist's error for Jarmuth. In Eusebius, Onomasticon (OS2 132 31; 266 38) mention is made of a Ἰερμοχώς, Iermochō̇s, or Jermucha, 10 Roman miles Northeast of Eleutheropolis (Beit Jibrı̂n), The site of this once important place is Khirbet el Yarmūk, a ruin, with many old walls and cisterns, on the top of a hill 1,465 ft. above sealevel. It is nearly 2 miles Northwest of Beit Nattı̂f, from which it is visible, and 8 1/2 miles, as measured on map, N.N.E. of Beit Jibrı̂n. Compare PEF, III, 128, Sh XVIII.
(2) A city of Issachar belonging to the ?children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites? (Jos_21:29); in the duplicate list in 1Ch_6:73 we have Ramoth, while in the Septuagint version of Jos_21:29 we have, in different VSS, Rhemmāth or Iermō̇th. In Jos_19:21 ?Remeth? occurs (in Hebrew) in the lists of cities of Issachar; in the Septuagint Rhémmas or Rhamáth. The name was probably ?Remeth? or ?Ramoth,? but the place has never been identified with any certainty. See RAMOTH.

Jarmuth
(Heb. Yarmuth', יִרְמוּת, height; Sept. Ι᾿εριμούθ), the name of two places.
1. A town in the plain of Judah (Jos_15:35), inhabited after the Babylonian captivity (Neh_11:29); originally the seat of one of the Canaanitish kings, SEE PIRAM defeated by Joshua (Jos_10:3; Jos_10:5; Jos_10:23; Jos_12:11; Jos_15:35). Eusebius (Onomast. s.v. Ι᾿εριμοῦς, also Ι᾿ερμοχώς) sets down Jarmucha or Jermus as ten Roman miles from Eleutheropolis towards Jerusalem, but elsewhere Jarmuth (s.v. Ι᾿εριμούθ, doubtless the same place) less correctly at four miles' distance, although in the neighborhood of Eshtaol, which is ten miles from Eleutheropolis. Dr. Robinson (Researches, 2, 344) identified the site as that of Yarmuk, a village about seven miles north-east of Beit-Jibrin (Schwarz, Palest. p. 85). As the name implies; it is situated on a ridge (tell Ermudor Armuth, a different pronunciation for Yarmuth: Van de Velde, Narrative, 2, 193). It is a small and poor place, but contains a few traces, in its hewn stones and ruins, of former strength and greatness (Porter, Handbook. p. 281; Van de Velde, Mienzoir, p. 324; Tobler, Dritte Wanderung, p. 120, 462)..
2. A Levitical city in the tribe of Issachar (Jos_21:29), elsewhere called REMETHῥ(Jos_19:21) and RAMOTH (1Ch_6:73). Schwarz (Palest. p. 157) supposes it was the Ramah of Samuel (1Sa_19:22), which he identifies with the modern village of Rameh, north-west of Shechem; but this place lies within the territory of Manasseh. The associated names seem to indicate a locality on the eastern edge of the plain of Esdraelon. SEE REIRETH.
