It was often a site of conflict due to its position on key trade and military routes. In the biblical narrative, Ramah is associated with the prophet Samuel, who was born in Ramah of Zophim, and it served as a place of judgment and leadership. The town is also linked to the lamentation prophecy in Jeremiah, which is later referenced in the New Testament.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/7414.htm">Ramah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Ramah, a city N. of Jer.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ramah (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4471: Ραμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ραμα</span></span> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">Ραμα</span>; cf. <span class="abbreviation">B.
