Ramoth (2)
(Heb. Ramoth', רָמוֹת[but רָאמוֹתin Deu_4:43; Jos_20:8; 1Ch_6:73; 1Ch_6:80], heights, plur. of Ramah [q.v.]; Sept. usually ῾Ραμώθ), but ῾Ρημώθ in Ezr_10:29, ῾Ραμμώθ in 2Ch_18:2-3; 2Ch_18:5, etc.), the name of three towns in Palestine, and also of one man.
1. (Sept. ἡ ῾Ραμώθ.) One of the four Levitical cities of Issachar according to the catalogue in 1Ch_6:73. In the parallel list in Jos_21:28-29, among other variations, JARIMUTH SEE JARIMUTH (q.v.) appears in place of Ramoth. It seems impossible to decide which is the correct reading; or whether, again, REMETH SEE REMETH (q.v.), a town of Issachar, is distinct from them, or one and the same.
2. A city in the tribe of Gad (Deu_4:43; Jos_20:8; Jos_21:38; 1Ch_6:80), elsewhere called RAMOTH-GILEAD SEE RAMOTH-GILEAD (q.v.).
3. (Sept. ῾Ραμᾶ.) A city in the tribe of Simeon (South Ramoth, 1Sa_30:27). SEE RAMATH-NEGEB.
4. (Heb. text Yirmoth', יַרְמוֹת, marg. ve-Ramoth', וְרָמוֹת, and Ramoth; Sept. Ρημώθ v. r. Μημών.) An Israelitish layman of the sons of Bani, who renounced his strange wife at Ezra's instigation (Ezr_10:29). B.C. 458.
