Ramoth @ heights. A Levitical city in the tribe of Issachar ( 1Samuel:30:27; 1Chronicles:6:73), the same as Jarmuth Joshua:21:29) and Remeth (q.v.), 19:21.

Ramoth-gilead @ heights of Gilead, a city of refuge on the east of Jordan; called "Ramoth in Gilead" Deuteronomy:4:43; Joshua:20:8 Joshua:21:38). Here Ahab, who joined Jehoshaphat in an endeavour to rescue it from the hands of the king of Syria, was mortally wounded (kjvKings:22:1-36). A similar attempt was afterwards made by Ahaziah and Joram, when the latter was wounded ( 2Kings:8:28). In this city Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, was anointed by one of the sons of the prophets (9:1,4). It has with probability been identified with Reimun, on the northern slope of the Jabbok, about 5 miles west of Jerash or Gerasa, one of the cities of Decapolis. Others identify it with Gerosh, about 25 miles north-east of es-Salt, with which also many have identified it. (See RAMATH-MIZPEH.)

RAMOTHGILEAD @ - (heights of Gilead), one of the great fastnesses on the east of jordan, and the key to an important district. (Kings:4:13) It was the city of refuge for the tribe of Gad, (4:43; Joshua:20:8 Joshua:21:38) and the residence of one of Solomon’s commissariat officers. (Kings:4:13) During the invasion related in (Kings:15:20) or some subsequent incursion, this important place had seized by Ben-hadad I., king of Syria. The incidents of Ahab’s expedition are well known. [AHAB] Later it was taken by Israel, and held in spite of all the efforts of Hazael who was now on the throne of Damascus, to regain it. ( 2Kings:9:14) Henceforward Ramoth-gilead disappears from our view. Eusebius and Jerome specify the position of Ramoth as 15 miles from Philadelphia (Amman). It may correspond to the site bearing the name of Jel’ad , exactly identical with the ancient Hebrew Gilead, which is four or five miles north of es-Salt , 25 miles east of the Jordan and 13 miles south of the brook Jabbok.
