| <p> a famous city in the mountains of Gilead, 1 Kings 4:13 . It is often called Ramoth-Gilead. [[Josephus]] calls it Ramathan, or Aramatha. The city belonged to the tribe of Gad, Deuteronomy 4:43 . It was assigned for a dwelling of the Levites, and was one of the cities of refuge beyond Jordan, Joshua 20:8; Joshua 21:38 . It became famous during the reigns of the latter kings of Israel, and was the occasion of several wars between them and the kings of Damascus, who had made a conquest of it, which the sovereigns of Israel endeavoured to regain, 1 Kings 22:3-5 . [[Eusebius]] says, that Ramoth was fifteen miles from [[Philadelphia]] toward the east. St. Jerom places it in the neighbourhood of Jabbok, and consequently to the north of Philadelphia. </p> | | <p> ''''' rā´moth ''''' ( רמות , <i> ''''' rāmōth ''''' </i> , <i> ''''' Ḳerē ''''' </i> for <i> ''''' yerēmōth ''''' </i> ( Ezra 10:29 the King James Version); the Revised Version margin <i> ''''' Kethı̄bh ''''' </i> makes the name similar to those in Ezra 10:26 , Ezra 10:27 ): One of the offenders in the matter of foreign marriages.

| <p> Ramoth (heights, pl. of Ramah). There were several places of this name, usually with some addition to distinguish them from one another. </p> <p> [[Ramoth-Gilead]] </p> <p> Ramoth-Gilead, called also Ramoth-Mizpeh, or simply Ramoth, a town in Gilead, within the borders of [[Gad]] , which belonged to the [[Levites]] (;; ). It was one of the cities of refuge , and one of the towns in which an intendant was stationed by [[Solomon]] . It was the last of their conquests which the [[Syrians]] held; and [[Ahab]] was killed (; 2 Chronicles 18), and fourteen years after his son Joram was wounded , in the attempt to recover it. The strength of the place is attested by the length of time the Syrians were enabled to hold it, and by Ahab and Joram having both been solicitous to obtain the aid of the kings of Judah when about to attack it; these being two of the only three expeditions in which the kings of Judah and Israel ever co-operated. It was here also that Jehu was proclaimed and anointed king but it is not very clear whether the army was then still before the town, or in actual possession of it. Eusebius places Ramoth-Gilead on the River [[Jabbok]] fifteen Roman miles west of Philadelphia (Rabbah), where the ruins of a town are still to be seen. Buckingham is, however, more disposed to seek the site of Ramoth-Gilead in a place now called Ramtha, or Rameza, which is about twenty-three miles N.W.N. from Philadelphia, and about four miles north of the Jabbok, where he noticed some ruins which he could not examine. </p>
