The name "Ramah" means "height" or "high place," which is fitting given its geographical and historical importance. Several locations named Ramah are noted in the biblical narrative, each with its own historical and theological significance.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b>Ramah of Benjamin:</b><br>&#183; <b>Location and Significance:</b> Ramah in the territory of Benjamin is one of the most frequently mentioned. It is situated near Gibeah and Mizpah, approximately five miles north of Jerusalem. This Ramah served as a strategic military and administrative center.<br>&#183; <b>Biblical Events:</b><br>&#183; <b><a href="/judges/4-5.htm">Judges 4:5</a>:</b> Deborah, the prophetess and judge, held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim.<br>&#183; <b><a href="/1_samuel/7-17.htm">1 Samuel 7:17</a>:</b> The prophet Samuel made his home in Ramah, where he judged Israel and built an altar to the LORD.<br>&#183; <b><a href="/1_samuel/19-18.htm">1 Samuel 19:18-24</a>:</b> David fled to Samuel at Ramah when Saul sought to kill him, and the Spirit of God came upon Saul's messengers and Saul himself, causing them to prophesy.<br>&#183; <b><a href="/jeremiah/31-15.htm">Jeremiah 31:15</a> (quoted in <a href="/matthew/2-18.htm">Matthew 2:18</a>):</b> Ramah is the setting for Rachel's lamentation, a prophecy fulfilled in the massacre of the innocents by Herod, as recorded in the New Testament.<br><br>2. <b>Ramah of the South (Negev):</b><br>&#183; <b>Location and Significance:</b> This Ramah is located in the southern part of Judah, in the Negev desert. It is less frequently mentioned but is part of the territorial descriptions in the Old Testament.<br>&#183; <b>Biblical Reference:</b><br>&#183; <b><a href="/joshua/19-8.htm">Joshua 19:8</a>:</b> It is listed among the towns in the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon.<br><br>3. <b>Ramah in Naphtali:</b><br>&#183; <b>Location and Significance:</b> Another Ramah is located in the territory of Naphtali, in the northern part of Israel.<br>&#183; <b>Biblical Reference:</b><br>&#183; <b><a href="/joshua/19-36.htm">Joshua 19:36</a>:</b> It is included in the list of fortified cities in the inheritance of the tribe of Naphtali.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br>Ramah holds a multifaceted role in biblical history and theology. It is a place of prophetic activity, as seen in the ministries of Samuel and Deborah. The lamentation associated with Ramah in <a href="/jeremiah/31-15.htm">Jeremiah 31:15</a>, echoed in the New Testament, underscores the theme of sorrow and hope, reflecting God's redemptive plan through Christ. Ramah's repeated mention in various tribal territories highlights the interconnectedness of Israel's history and God's unfolding covenant with His people.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br>Ramah's strategic location made it a site of military and political importance throughout Israel's history. Its proximity to major routes and other significant cities like Jerusalem and Bethel contributed to its prominence. The prophetic activities and events associated with Ramah emphasize its role as a spiritual center, where God's presence and guidance were manifest through His chosen leaders.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>Ramah's presence in the biblical narrative serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and faithfulness throughout Israel's history. Its varied roles&#8212;from a place of judgment and prophecy to a symbol of mourning and hope&#8212;illustrate the depth and complexity of God's interaction with His people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ramah</span><p>same as Ram<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ramah</span><p>(<i>a hill</i>). This is the name of several places in the holy land. <ol> <li>One of the cities of the allotment of Benjamin. (<a href="/joshua/18-25.htm">Joshua 18:25</a>) Its site is at <i>er-Ram</i> , about five miles from Jerusalem, and near to Gibeah. (<a href="/judges/4-5.htm">Judges 4:5</a>; <a href="/judges/19-13.htm">19:13</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/22-6.htm">1 Samuel 22:6</a>) Its people returned after the captivity.

(<a href="/1_samuel/25-1.htm">1 Samuel 25:1</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/28-3.htm">28:3</a>) It is a contracted form of Ramathaim-zophim. All that is directly said as to its situation is that it was in Mount Ephraim, (<a href="/1_samuel/1-1.htm">1 Samuel 1:1</a>) a district without defined boundaries, The position of Ramah is a much-disputed question. Tradition, however places the residence of Samuel on the lofty and remarkable eminence of <i>Neby Samwil</i> which rises four miles to the northwest of Jerusalem. Since the days of Arcult the tradition appears to have been continuous. Here, then, we are inclined in the present state of the evidence, to place the Ramah of Samuel.</li> <li>One of the nineteen fortified places of Naphtali. (<a href="/joshua/19-36.htm">Joshua 19:36</a>) Dr. Robinson has discovered a Rameh northwest of the Sea of Galilee, about 8 miles east-south-east of Safed.</li> <li>One of the landmarks on the boundary of Asher, (<a href="/joshua/19-29.htm">Joshua 19:29</a>) apparently between Tyre and Zidon.

(<a href="/nehemiah/11-33.htm">Nehemiah 11:33</a>)</li> </ol><a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ramah</span><p>Plural <a href="../r/ramoth.htm">RAMOTH</a>, an eminence; and hence many places in Palestine are named Ramah, Ramath, Ramath, Ramathaim, etc. Sometimes the same place is called by one or other of these names indiscriminately, all signifying the same, <a href="/context/2_kings/8-28.htm">2 Kings 8:28</a>,29. Sometimes Rama, Or Ramoth, is joined to another name, to determine the place of such city or eminence; and it is sometimes put simply for a high place, and signifies neither city nor village. </p><p>1. The principal Ramah was a city of Benjamin, near Gibeah, towards the mountains of Ephraim, six miles from Jerusalem north, and on the road from Samaria to Jerusalem, <a href="/joshua/18-25.htm">Joshua 18:25</a> Jud 19:13 <a href="/nehemiah/11-33.htm">Nehemiah 11:33</a>. It was near the border line between Judah and Israel, and Baasha king of Israel caused it to be fortified, to obstruct the passage from the land of Judah into his own territory, <a href="/context/1_kings/15-17.htm">1 Kings 15:17</a>,21,22. It is also referred to in <a href="/isaiah/10-29.htm">Isaiah 10:29</a> <a href="/jeremiah/31-15.htm">Jeremiah 31:15</a> 40:1 Ho 5:8. Dr. Robinson finds it in the modern village Er-Ram, on a conical hill a little east of the road above-mentioned. The ruins are broken columns, a few bevelled stones, and large hewn stones, and an ancient reservoir on the southwest side. The village is almost deserted. </p><p>2. A city in mount Ephraim, called also Ramathaim-Zophim, or Ramah of the Zuphites, the place of Samuel's birth, residence, and burial, <a href="/context/1_samuel/1-1.htm">1 Samuel 1:1</a>,19 7:17 8:4 25:1:28:3. Dr. Robinson suggests Soba, five miles west of Jerusalem, as its possible site. The resemblance of its name Ramathaim to Arimathea of the New Testament, together with intimations of early historians, have led to the general belief that these two places were identical. Arimathea, there is little doubt, lay on one of the hills east of Lydda, some twenty miles northwest of Jerusalem; and this site would meet most of the scriptural intimations as to the Ramah of Samuel. The chief difficulty is found in the account of Saul's first visit to Samuel, <a href="/context/1_samuel/9-4.htm">1 Samuel 9:4-12</a> 10:2.</p><p>The young prince "passed through the land of the Benjamites," going south or south-west, "and came to the land of Zuph" and the city where Samuel then was. After his interview with the prophet, and on his return home to Giveah of Benjamin, he passed "by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah." But the only "Rachel's sepulchre" we know of was near Bethlehem, many miles south of the direct road from Arimathea to Gibeah. Accordingly, if we suppose this interview took place at Arimathea, we seem obliged to suppose another Rachel's sepulchre between it and Gibeah; or if "Rachel's sepulchre" was at Bethlehem, to infer that the city where Saul actually found Samuel, and at which the prophet had only that day arrived, <a href="/context/1_samuel/9-10.htm">1 Samuel 9:10</a>, was not his usual residence, but some place south or south-west of Bethlehem, only visited by him at intervals in his annual circuits as judge. </p><p>3. A city of Asher, <a href="/joshua/19-29.htm">Joshua 19:29</a> </p><p>4. A city of Naphtali, <a href="/joshua/19-36.htm">Joshua 19:36</a>. The site of both these places, visited by Dr. Robinson, is still called Rameh. </p><p>5. A city of Gilead, <a href="/context/2_kings/8-28.htm">2 Kings 8:28</a>,29. See <a href="../r/ramoth.htm">RAMOTH</a>. </p><p>6. A town belonging to Simeon, called Ramah of the south, <a href="/joshua/19-8.htm">Joshua 19:8</a> <a href="/1_samuel/30-27.htm">1 Samuel 30:27</a>. </p><a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">RAMAH</span><p>ra'-ma (ha-ramah, without the definite article only in <a href="/nehemiah/11-33.htm">Nehemiah 11:33</a> <a href="/jeremiah/31-15.htm">Jeremiah 31:15</a>): The name denotes height, from root rum, "to be high," and the towns to which it applied seem all to have stood on elevated sites.<br><br>(1) Codex Vaticanus Arael; Codex Alexandrinus Rhama: A fenced city in the lot assigned to Naphtali (<a href="/joshua/19-36.htm">Joshua 19:36</a>). Only in this passage is the place referred to. It is probably identical with the modern er-Rameh, a large Christian village on the highway from Cafed to the coast, about 8 miles West-Southwest of that city. To the North rises the mountain range which forms the southern boundary of Upper Galilee. In the valley to the South there is much rich land cultivated by the villagers. The olives grown here are very fine, and fruitful vineyards cover many of the surrounding slopes. No remains of antiquity are to be seen above ground; but the site is one likely to have been occupied in ancient times.<br><br>(2) Rhama: A city that is mentioned only once, on the boundary of Asher (<a href="/joshua/19-29.htm">Joshua 19:29</a>). The line of the boundary cannot be followed with certainty; but perhaps we may identify Ramah with the modern Ramiyeh, a village situated on a hill which rises in the midst of a hollow, some 13 miles Southeast of Tyre, and 12 miles East of the Ladder of Tyre. To the Southwest is a marshy lake which dries up in summer. Traces of antiquity are found in the cisterns, a large reservoir and many sarcophagi. To the West is the high hill Belat, with ancient ruins, and remains of a temple of which several columns are still in situ.<br><br>(3) Codex Vaticanus Rhama; Codex Alexandrinus Iama, and other forms: A city in the territory of Benjamin named between Gibeon and Beeroth (<a href="/joshua/18-25.htm">Joshua 18:25</a>). The Levite thought of it as a possible resting-place for himself and his concubine on their northward journey (<a href="/judges/19-13.htm">Judges 19:13</a>). The palm tree of Deborah was between this and Bethel (<a href="/judges/4-5.htm">Judges 4:5</a>). Baasha, king of Samaria, sought to fortify Ramah against Asa, king of Judah. The latter frustrated the attempt, and carried off the materials which Bassha had collected, and with them fortified against him Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah (<a href="/1_kings/15-17.htm">1 Kings 15:17</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/16-5.htm">2 Chronicles 16:5</a>). Here the captain of Nebuchadnezzar's guard released Jeremiah after he had been carried in bonds from Jerusalem (<a href="/jeremiah/40-1.htm">Jeremiah 40:1</a>). It figures in Isaiah's picture of the Assyrians' approach (<a href="/isaiah/10-29.htm">Isaiah 10:29</a>). It is named by Hosea in connection with Gibeah (5:8), and is mentioned as being reoccupied after the exile (<a href="/ezra/2-26.htm">Ezra 2:26</a> <a href="/nehemiah/7-30.htm">Nehemiah 7:30</a>). It was near the traditional tomb of Rachel (<a href="/jeremiah/31-15.htm">Jeremiah 31:15</a>; compare <a href="/1_samuel/10-2.htm">1 Samuel 10:2</a> <a href="/matthew/2-18.htm">Matthew 2:18</a>, the King James Version "Rama").<br><br>From the passages cited we gather that Ramah lay some distance to the North of Gibeah, and not far from Gibeon and Beeroth. The first is identified with Tell el-Ful, about 3 miles North of Jerusalem. Two miles farther North is er-Ram. Gibeon (el-Jib) is about 3 miles West of er-Ram, and Beeroth (el-Bireh) is about 4 miles to the North Eusebius, Onomasticon places Ramah 6 Roman miles North of Jerusalem; while Josephus (Ant., VIII, xii, 3) says it lay 40 furlongs from the city. All this points definitely to identification with er-Ram. The modern village crowns a high limestone hill to the South of the road, a position of great strength. West of the village is an ancient reservoir. In the hill are cisterns, and a good well to the South.<br><br>(4) Aramathaim: The home of Elkanah and Hannah, and the birthplace of Samuel (<a href="/1_samuel/1-19.htm">1 Samuel 1:19</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/2-11.htm">1 Samuel 2:11</a>, etc.). In <a href="/1_samuel/1-1.htm">1 Samuel 1:1</a> it is called "Ramathaim-zophim" (ha-ramathayim-tsophim). The phrase as it stands is grammatically incorrect, and suggests tampering with the text. It might possibly be translated "Ramathaim of the Zuphites." It was in Mt. Ephraim, within accessible distance of Shiloh, whither Samuel's parents went up from year to year to worship and to sacrifice (1:3). From Ramah as a center Samuel went on circuit annually, to judge Israel, to Bethel, Gilgal and Mizpah (7:16). It is very probable that this is the city in which, guided by his servant, Saul first made the acquaintance of Samuel (9:6, 10), where there was a high place (9:12). Hither at all events came the elders of Israel with their demand that a king should be set over them (8:4). After his final break with Saul, Samuel retired in sorrow to Ramah (15:34). Here, in Naioth, David found asylum with Samuel from the mad king (19:18, etc.), and hence, he fled on his ill-starred visit to Nob (20:1). In his native city the dust of the dead Samuel was laid (25:1; 28:3). In 1 Maccabees 11:34 it is named as one of the three toparchies along with Aphaerema and Lydda, which were added to Judea from the country of Samaria in 145 B.C. Eusebius, Onomasticon places it near Diospolis (Euseb.) in the district of Timnah (Jerome).<br><br>There are two serious rivals for the honor of representing the ancient Ramah.<br><br>(a) Beit Rima, a village occupying a height 13 miles East-Northeast of Lydda (Diospolis), 12 miles West of Shiloh, and about the same distance Northwest of Bethel. This identification has the support of G. A. Smith (Historical Geography of the Holy Land, 254), and Buhl (Geographic des Alten Palestina, 170).<br><br>(b) Ramallah, a large and prosperous village occupying a lofty position with ancient remains. It commands a wide prospect, especially to the West. It lies about 8 miles North of Jerusalem, 3 West of Bethel, and 12 Southwest of Shiloh. The name meaning "the height" or "high place of God" may be reminiscent of the high place in the city where Saul found Samuel. In other respects it agrees very well with the Biblical data.<br><br>Claims have also been advanced on behalf of Ramleh, a village 2 miles Southwest of Lydda, in the plain of Sharon. This, however, is out of the question, as the place did not exist before Arab times. Others support identification with Neby Samwil, which more probably represents the ancient MIZPAH (which see).<br><br>(5) Ramah of the South, the King James Version "Ramath of the South": Ramath is the construct form of Ramah (<a href="/joshua/19-8.htm">Joshua 19:8</a>) (ra'math neghebh; Bameth kata liba). A city in that part of the territory of Judah which was allotted to Simeon. It stands here in apposition to Baalath-beer, and is probably a second name for the same place. It seems to correspond also with "Ramoth (plural) of the South" (<a href="/1_samuel/30-27.htm">1 Samuel 30:27</a>), a place to which David sent a share of the spoil taken from the Amalekites. In this passage Septuagint retains the singular form, Rhama notou. Identification has been suggested with Qubbet el-Baul, about 37 miles South of Hebron; and with Kurnub a little farther South. There is no substantial ground for either identification.<br><br>(6) Codex Vaticanus Rhemmoth; Codex Alexandrinus Rhamoth: Ramah in <a href="/2_kings/8-29.htm">2 Kings 8:29</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/22-6.htm">2 Chronicles 22:6</a>, is a contraction of Ramoth-gilead.<br><br>W.
