<p> '''''am´a''''' ( <span> אמּה </span> , <i> ''''''ammāh''''' </i> , "mother" or "beginning"): A hill in the territory of [[Benjamin]] ( <span> 2 [[Samuel]] 2:24 </span> ), where [[Joab]] and [[Abishai]] halted at nightfall in their pursuit of [[Abner]] and his forces after their victory over him in the battle of Gibeon. It "lieth before [[Giah]] by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon"; but the exact location has not been identified. The same [[Hebrew]] word appears as the second part of Metheg-ammah in <span> 2 Samuel 8:1 </span> the [[King]] [[James]] Version, but rendered "mother city" in the [[Revised]] [[Version]] (British and American), probably however not the same place as in <span> 2 Samuel 2:24 </span> . </p> | |||

<p> (Hebrew Ammah', <span> אִמָּה </span> , <span> a cubit, </span> as often;. Sept. <span> Ἀμμά </span> v. r. <span> Ἀμμάν </span> ) <span> , </span> a hill "that lieth before [[Giah]] by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon:" the sun went down as [[Joab]] and [[Abishai]] reached this place in pursuit of [[Abner]] </p> <p> ( <span> 2 [[Samuel]] 2:24 </span> ). The description appears to indicate some eminence immediately east of [[Gibeon]] (q.v.). [[Josephus]] <span> (Ant. </span> 7, 1, 3) renders, "a place called Ammata" ( <span> τόπος </span> <span> τις </span> , <span> ὃν </span> <span> Ἀμμάταν </span> <span> καλοῦσι </span> ); compare the <span> Amta </span> ( <span> אִמְתָּא </span> ) of Jonathan's <span> Targum. </span> Both [[Symmachus]] ( <span> νάπη </span> ) and [[Theodotion]] ( <span> ὑδραγωγός </span> ) agree with the [[Vulgate]] in an allusion to some water-course here. It is possibly to the "excavated fountain" "under the high rock," described as near Gibeon <span> (El-Jib) by </span> Robinson <span> (Researches, </span> 2, 136). (See [[Metheg-Ammah]]). </p> <p> (See [[Cubit]]) </p> <p> in [[Egyptian]] mythology, was the name of the [[Gate]] of the Dead, or of Hades, from whence, according to the [[Ritual]] of the Dead, the souls of the deceased went out on their way to heaven. </p> | |||
