<p> (Heb. id. רֶמֶת '', Height;'' Sept. ῾Ραμμάθ v. r. ῾Ραμμάς ), a city in the territory of Issachar (&nbsp;Joshua 19:21), called, as it seems, RAMOTH (See Ramoth) (q.v.) in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:73. As the place is named in the first of the above passages next to En-gannim (Jenin), the site is possibly represented by a [[Tell]] with ruins south of Zerin (Jezreel) between Sundela and Mukeibileh. Dr. [[Porter]] (in Kitto's ''Cyclop.'' s.v.) suggests that the place may be identical with the ruined fortress and village called ''Wezar,'' perched upon the northern rocky face of Mt. [[Gilboa]] (Robinson, ''Researches,'' 3:157, 160; new ed. 3, 339). </p>

is regarded by Tristram and Conder as the present er-Rameh, five and a half miles north-west of Sebustieh, "a conspicuous village on a hilly knoll above the small plain, with a high central house.
