<p> '''Ru'mah.''' ''(High).'' [[Mentioned]] once only - &nbsp;2 Kings 23:36. It has been conjectured to be the same place as [[Arumah]] , &nbsp;Judges 9:41, which was apparently near Shechem. It is more probable that it is identical with '''Dumah, 2''' . &nbsp;Joshua 15:52. ''See '' '''Arumah; Dumah, 2''' ''.'' </p>

<p> <strong> RUMAH </strong> . The home of Pedaiah, the maternal grandfather of [[Jehoiakim]] (&nbsp; 2 Kings 23:36 ). [[Josephus]] ( <em> Ant. </em> X. v. 2) reads <em> Abouma </em> , no doubt a scribal error for <em> Arouma </em> , which may be the <strong> Arumah </strong> of &nbsp; Judges 9:41 near Shechem. There was another [[Rumah]] in [[Galilee]] (Jos [Note: Josephus.] <em> BJ </em> III. vii. 21), perhaps the modern <em> Rumeh </em> near Nazareth; and [[Pedaiah]] may have been a GalilÃ¦an. </p> <p> W. F. Boyd. </p>

<p> &nbsp;2 Kings 23:36. Birthplace of Pedaiah, father of [[Zebudah]] (&nbsp;2 Kings 23:36). Probably [[Dumah]] , a town in the mountains of Judah near [[Hebron]] (&nbsp;Joshua 15:52). </p>

<p> ''''' rōō´ma ''''' ( רוּמה , <i> ''''' rūmāh ''''' </i> ; Codex Vaticanus Ῥουμά , <i> ''''' Rhoumá ''''' </i> ; Codex Alexandrinus Ῥυμά , <i> ''''' Rhumá ''''' </i> ): To this place belonged Pedaiah whose daughter Zebudah (the Revised Version (British and American) "Zebidah") entered the harem of Josiah, king of Judah, and became the mother of Jehoiakim (&nbsp; 2 Kings 23:36 ). Josephus ( <i> Ant. </i> , X, v, 2) calls the place Abouma, but this is an obvious clerical error for Arouma. This suggests a possible identification with Arumah (&nbsp;Judges 9:41 ), which lay not far from Shechem. Another possible identification is with the Rumah mentioned by Josephus ( <i> BJ </i> , III, vii, 21) in Galilee (compare Neubauer, <i> Geog. du [[Talmud]] </i> , 203), which may be identical with the modern <i> ''''' Khirbet ''''' </i> <i> ''''' Rūmeh ''''' </i> , about 3 miles North of <i> ''''' Ṣeffūriyeh ''''' </i> . Some, however, would identify Rumah with Dumah of &nbsp;Joshua 15:52 , where the substitution of "r" for "d" is supported by the [[Septuagint]] ( <i> ''''' Rheuma ''''' </i> ), possibly represented by the modern <i> ''''' Dōmeh ''''' </i> , about 13 miles Southeast of <i> ''''' Beit ''''' </i> <i> ''''' Jibrı̄n ''''' </i> . This of course was in the territory of Judah, and no question of <i> jus connubium </i> is involved, such as might arise in the case of a [[Galilean]] site. </p>

<p> (Heb. Rumah', '''''יוּמָה''''' , ''High'' ; Sept. '''''῾Ρουμά''''' ; Vulg. ''Ruma'' ; Josephus, '''''Ἀβούμα''''' , ''Ant.'' 10, 5, 2), a city named only in &nbsp;2 Kings 23:36 as the home of Pedaiah, father of Jehoiakim's mother, Zebudah. It is probably the same with [[Arumah]] (&nbsp;Judges 9:41), which is identified by Schwarz ( ''Palest.'' p. 158) with the modern Ramin, two miles west of Samaria. (See Arumah). Josephus mentions a ''Rumash'' in Galilee ([[War]] , 2, 7, 21). Others with less probability regard this as identical with [[Dumah]] , one of the towns in the mountains of Judah, near Hebron (&nbsp;Joshua 15:52), not far distant from Libnah, the native town of another of Josiah's wives. </p>
