<p> or | <p> or [[Ramah]] now called Ramle, or Ramla, a pleasant town, beautifully situated on the borders of a fertile and extensive plain, abounding in gardens, vineyards, olive and date trees. It stands about thirty miles north-west of Jerusalem, on the high road to Jaffa. At this Rama, which was likewise called [[Ramathaim]] Zophim, as lying in the district of Zuph, or Zoph, Samuel was born, 1 Samuel 1. This was likewise the native place of Joseph, called [[Joseph]] of Arimathea, who begged and obtained the body of Jesus from Pilate, </p> <p> Matthew 26:57 . There was another Ramah, about six miles north of Jerusalem, in a pass which separated the kingdoms of [[Israel]] and Judah, which Baasha, king of Israel, took and began to fortify; but he was obliged to relinquish it, in consequence of the alliance formed between Asa, king of Judah, and Benhadad, king of Syria, 1 Kings 15. This is the Ramah, supposed to be alluded to in the lamentation of Rachel for her children. </p> | ||
