Bath-Rabbim [1]
(Heb. Bath-rabbim', בִּתאּרִבַּים daughter of many; Sept. translates literally θυγατὴρ τολλῶν ), the name of one of the gates of the ancient city of Heshbon, by ( עִל ) which were two "pools," to which Solomon likens the eyes of his beloved ( Song of Solomon 7:4 [5]). The "Gate of Bath- rabbim" at Heshbon would, according to the Oriental custom, be the gate pointing to a town of that name. The only place in this neighborhood at all resembling Bath-rabbim in sound is Rabbah ( Amman) , but the one tank of which we gain any intelligence as remaining at Heshbon is on the opposite (S.) side of the town to Amman (Porter, Handbook, p. 298).
