<p> (Hebrews Eyn Rimmon', '''''עֵין''''' '''''רַמַּוֹן''''' , ''Fountain Of Rimmon;'' Sept. '''''Ἐν''''' '''''῾Ρεμμών''''' v. r. '''''Ἐν''''' '''''῾Ρεμαών''''' , Vat. MS. omits, Vulg. ''Et In Remmon),'' a place occupied by the descendants of Judah after the exile (&nbsp;Nehemiah 11:29). It appears from the associated places to be the same with the ''"Ain And Rimmon"'' of &nbsp;Joshua 15:32 (comp. &nbsp;Joshua 19:7; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:32), where perhaps, in like manner, but one place is referred to, a spring adjoining the town of Rimmon. (See [[Ain]]). Yet the enumeration ("five cities") of &nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:32 ("Ain, Rimmon") requires them to be taken as distinct. In fact, there appears to have been a [[Levitical]] city en-Rimmon near to, but originally distinct from the nonLevitical Rimmon, and indicated by a remarkable reservoir still extant in the vicinity. (See [[Rimmon]]). </p>

In &nbsp;Nehemiah 11:29 mentioned as reinhabited after the Captivity. &nbsp; Zechariah 14:10 , runs: "All the land shall be made like the Arabah, from [[Geba]] to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem." It must have been a very southerly place. In the Eusebius, <i> Onomasticon </i> , ("Erimmon") it is described as a "very large village 16 miles South of Eleutheropolis." <i> ''''' Kḣ Umm er Rumāmı̄n ''''' </i> , 9 miles North of [[Beersheba]] is the usually accepted site.
