Description
Ramoth in the text
Ramoth, also known as Ramoth-gilead, Galeed, Ramah, Ramath-mizpeh, Mizpah, and Jegar-sahadutha, was an important city east of the Jordan River. It was designated as a city of refuge (Deu. 4:43; Jos. 20:8) and a Levitical city in the territory of Gad (Jos. 21:38; 1Ch. 6:80). Ramoth-gilead was the site of several battles between Israel and Aram (1Ki. 22; 2Ki. 8-9; 2Ch. 18; 22). It is also mentioned in the story of Israel (or 'Jacob') and Laban, who made a covenant there and named the place Galeed and Mizpah (Gen. 31:47-49). The exact location is uncertain, but it was likely an important fortress city in Gilead guarding a key trade route.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
