| <p> or [[Ramath]] [[Of]] [[The]] [[South]] (Heb. Ramath' Ne'geb, רָמִת נֶגֶב; Sept. Βαμὲθ κατὰ λίβα, v. r. Ι᾿αμὲθ κατὰ λίβα '';'' Vulg. ''Ranath contra australem plagam'' ), a place apparently on the extreme southern border of [[Simeon.]] In this form it is only mentioned in Joshua 19:8; and, from the peculiarity of the construction, there being no copulative, it would seem to be only another name for [[Baalath-Beer,]] as suggested by Reland (''Palaest.'' p. 964), and interpreted by Keil (ad loc.); yet the Sept. makes the places distinct. Be this as it may, [[Negeb]] is manifestly the name of a district, and not a general term, signifying "south." (See [[Negeb]]). [[Ramah]] is not mentioned in the list of Judah (comp. Joshua 15:21-32), nor in that of [[Simeon]] in 1 Chronicles 4:28-33; nor is it mentioned by [[Eusebius]] and Jerome. [[Van]] de Velde (''Memoir'' , p. 342) takes it as identical with Ramath- lehi, which he finds at Tell el-Lekiyeh; but this appears to be so far south as to be out of the circle of Samson's adventures, and, at any rate, must wait for further evidence. </p> <p> In 1 Samuel 30:27, [[South]] [[Ramoth]] (רָוֹתאּנֶגֶב, in the plural; Sept. ῾Ραμὰ νότου, v. r. ῾Ραμὰθ νότου Vulg. ''Ramuoth ad nzeridien'' ) is mentioned as one of the cities to which David sent portions of the spoils of the Amalekites. Doubtless, it is the same place called by Joshua Ramath- negeb. The name should be written ''Ramoth-negeb.'' The site is unknown, and the region where it stood is, in a great measure, unexplored. </p> | | == References == |

Ramath-Negeb [1]
is regarded by Tristram (Bible Places, page 17) as probably the present "Kurmeh, southwest of Dhullam, wher ane aloe for many miles water is always to be found in plenty, and where the ravine is crossed by a strong dam to retain it. The walls of a fortified town are yet clearly to be traced, with extensive ruins, and it is at the head of the most frequented pass into Palestine from the-south-east."
