The Onomasticon of Eusebius and Jerome identifies it with Ramathaim-Zophim in the hill-country of Ephraim ( 1 Samuel 11:1-15 ), which is Ramah the birthplace and burial-place of Samuel ( 1 Samuel 1:19; 1 Samuel 25:1 ), and places it near Timnah on the borders of Judah and Dan. G. A. Smith thinks it may be the modern Beit Rima, a village on an eminence 2 miles North of Timnah.
