It is located in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River, and is often associated with the tribes of Gad and Manasseh. Ramoth holds historical and theological importance as a city of refuge and a site of various biblical events.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Ramoth is first mentioned in the context of the division of the land among the tribes of Israel. In <a href="/deuteronomy/4-43.htm">Deuteronomy 4:43</a>, it is designated as one of the cities of refuge: "Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau for the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites." This designation provided a place of asylum for those who had committed unintentional manslaughter, allowing them to escape the avenger of blood until a fair trial could be conducted.<br><br>In the historical narratives, Ramoth-Gilead is frequently mentioned in the context of military conflicts. It was a strategically important city due to its location and fortifications. In <a href="/bsb/1_kings/22.htm">1 Kings 22</a>, King Ahab of Israel sought to reclaim Ramoth-Gilead from the Arameans. He allied with Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, to wage war against the city. Despite the alliance, Ahab was killed in the battle, fulfilling the prophecy of Micaiah, the prophet who had warned against the campaign.<br><br>The city is again mentioned in <a href="/bsb/2_kings/9.htm">2 Kings 9</a>, where it serves as the backdrop for the anointing of Jehu as king of Israel. Elisha the prophet sends a young prophet to Ramoth-Gilead to anoint Jehu, who was a commander in the army, as king. This event marks the beginning of Jehu's violent purge of the house of Ahab, as he fulfills God's judgment against Ahab's family.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>Ramoth-Gilead's role as a city of refuge underscores the biblical principle of justice tempered with mercy. The cities of refuge were established by God to ensure that those who committed accidental manslaughter could find protection and a fair trial, reflecting God's concern for justice and the sanctity of life.<br><br>The military events associated with Ramoth-Gilead highlight the themes of prophecy and divine sovereignty. The accounts of Ahab's death and Jehu's anointing demonstrate the fulfillment of God's word through His prophets, emphasizing that God's purposes will prevail despite human plans and alliances.<br><br><b>Archaeological and Historical Context:</b> <br>While the exact location of Ramoth-Gilead is debated, it is generally believed to be in the modern-day region of Jordan. Archaeological evidence in the area provides insight into the ancient fortifications and settlements that would have existed during the biblical period. The strategic importance of the site is corroborated by its repeated mention in military contexts within the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>Ramoth-Gilead remains a significant site in biblical history, serving as a city of refuge and a focal point in the narratives of Israel's monarchy. Its mention in the Bible provides valuable insights into the themes of justice, prophecy, and divine sovereignty, which are central to the biblical message.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ramoth</span><p>eminences; high places<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ramoth</span><p>A famous city in the mountains of Gilead; often called RamothGilead, and sometimes Ramath-Mizpeh, or the Watchtower, <a href="/joshua/13-26.htm">Joshua 13:26</a>.
