Ammah
Ammah
(Hebrew Ammah’, , a cubit, as often;. Sept. v. r. ), a hill “that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon:” the sun went down as Joab and Abishai reached this place in pursuit of Abner
(2Sa 2:24). The description appears to indicate some eminence immediately east of Gibeon (q.v.). Josephus (Ant. 7, 1, 3) renders, “a place called Ammata” ( , ); compare the Amta () of Jonathan’s Targum. Both Symmachus () and Theodotion () agree with the Vulgate in an allusion to some water-course here. It is possibly to the “excavated fountain” “under the high rock,” described as near Gibeon (El-Jib) by Robinson (Researches, 2, 136). SEE METHEG-AMMAH.

Ammah
ama (, ‘ammah, mother or beginning): A hill in the territory of Benjamin (2Sa 2:24), where Joab and Abishai halted at nightfall in their pursuit of Abner and his forces after their victory over him in the battle of Gibeon. It lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon; but the exact location has not been identified. The same Hebrew word appears as the second part of Metheg-ammah in 2Sa 8:1 the King James Version, but rendered mother city in the Revised Version (British and American), probably however not the same place as in 2Sa 2:24.
