Ramoth

• A Levite city in the tribe of Issachar. It is probably the same as Remeth and Jarmuth. (Joshua 19:17,21 1 Chronicles 6:71-73) Some have tentatively identified it with Kokab el-Hawa north of Beth-Shean.
• "Ramoth of the south" (1 Samuel 30:27) appearently refers to "Ramah of the south" or Baalath-Beer in Joshua 19:8.
• Ramoth or Ramoth-Gilead was a well known place which was made a levite city and a city of refugee. The exact location is today uncertain. One of many suggested locations is Tell Ramith, about 45 km southeast of Sea of Galilee. A strategic place in the tribe of Gad, it played an important part in the history of Israel. Solomon appointed a deputy here to care for providing food. Later, it is mentioned as a city taken by Syria. Ahab tried to recover it, together with Jehoshaphat. This resulted in Ahab's death. Ahab's son Jehoram also fought the Syrians at Ramoth. In the fighting, he was wounded. It was also here, Elisha's attendant anointed Jehu to be the next king.
