Rama

From BibleWiki

(Mt 2:18), the Greek form of Ramah.

1. A city first mentioned in Josh 18:25, near Gibeah of Benjamin. It was fortified by Baasha, king of Israel (1 Kg 15:17-22; 2Chr 16:1-6). Asa, king of Judah, employed Benhadad the Syrian king to drive Baasha from this city (1 Kg 15:18, 20). Isaiah (10:29) refers to it, and also Jeremiah, who was once a prisoner there among the other captives of Jerusalem when it was taken by Nebuchadnezzar (Jer 39:8-12; 40:1). Rachel, whose tomb lies close to Bethlehem, is represented as weeping in Ramah (Jer 31:15) for her slaughtered children. This prophecy is illustrated and fulfilled in the re-awakening of Rachel's grief at the slaughter of the infants in Bethlehem (Mt 2:18). It is identified with the modern village of er-Ram, between Gibeon and Beeroth, about 5 miles due north of Jerusalem. (See SAMUEL.)
2. A town identified with Rameh, on the border of Asher, about 13 miles south-east of Tyre, "on a solitary hill in the midst of a basin of green fields" (Josh 19:29).
3. One of the "fenced cities" of Naphtali (Josh 19:36), on a mountain slope, about seven and a half miles west-south-west of Safed, and 15 miles west of the north end of the Sea of Galilee, the present large and well-built village of Rameh.
4. The same as Ramathaim-zophim, a town of Mount Ephraim (1Sam 1:1, 19).
5. The same as Ramoth-gilead, 2Kg 8:29; 2Chr 22:6.
