Jarmuth
Jarmuth
(Heb. Yarmuth’, , height; Sept. ), the name of two places.
1. A town in the plain of Judah (Jos 15:35), inhabited after the Babylonian captivity (Neh 11:29); originally the seat of one of the Canaanitish kings, SEE PIRAM defeated by Joshua (Jos 10:3; Jos 10:5; Jos 10:23; Jos 12:11; Jos 15:35). Eusebius (Onomast. s.v. , also ) sets down Jarmucha or Jermus as ten Roman miles from Eleutheropolis towards Jerusalem, but elsewhere Jarmuth (s.v. , doubtless the same place) less correctly at four miles’ distance, although in the neighborhood of Eshtaol, which is ten miles from Eleutheropolis. Dr. Robinson (Researches, 2, 344) identified the site as that of Yarmuk, a village about seven miles north-east of Beit-Jibrin (Schwarz, Palest. p. 85). As the name implies; it is situated on a ridge (tell Ermudor Armuth, a different pronunciation for Yarmuth: Van de Velde, Narrative, 2, 193). It is a small and poor place, but contains a few traces, in its hewn stones and ruins, of former strength and greatness (Porter, Handbook. p. 281; Van de Velde, Mienzoir, p. 324; Tobler, Dritte Wanderung, p. 120, 462)..
2. A Levitical city in the tribe of Issachar (Jos 21:29), elsewhere called REMETH(Jos 19:21) and RAMOTH (1Ch 6:73). Schwarz (Palest. p. 157) supposes it was the Ramah of Samuel (1Sa 19:22), which he identifies with the modern village of Rameh, north-west of Shechem; but this place lies within the territory of Manasseh. The associated names seem to indicate a locality on the eastern edge of the plain of Esdraelon. SEE REIRETH.

Jarmuth
1. A town in the shephelah or low hills (not “the plain “) of Judah (Jos 15:35). Piram its king was one of the five confederated to punish Gibeon for submitting to Joshua (Jos 10:3; Jos 10:5); routed at Beth-horon; executed at Makkedah (Jos 10:23). Occupied by children of Judah on the return from Babylon (Neh 11:29). Now Yarmuk, with a hill near, Tell Urmud.
2. A city of Issachar, assigned to the Gershonite Levites. (Jos 21:29). REMETH in Jos 19:20; RAMOTH in 1Ch 6:73. Both are modifications of the same root as Jarmuth.

Jarmuth
JARMUTH.1. A royal city of the Canaanites (Jos 10:3 etc.), in the Shephlab, assigned to Judah (Jos 15:35). It is probably identical with Jermucha of the Onomasticon, 10 Roman miles from Elentheropolis, on the Jerusalem road. This is now Khirbet Yarmk, between Wdy es-Sarr and Wdy es-Sant, about 8 miles N. of Beit Jibrn. 2. A city in Issachar, allotted to the Gershonite Levites (Jos 21:29, LXX [Note: Septuagint.] B Remmath). It corresponds to Ramoth in 1Ch 6:73, and Remeth appears in Jos 19:21 among the cities of Issachar. Guthe suggests er-Rmeh, about 11 miles S. W. of Jenn, but this is uncertain.

Jarmuth
jarmuth (, yarmuth:
(1) A city of the Canaanites in the Shephelah (Jos 15:35) of Judah whose king, Piram, joined the league of the five kings against Joshua (Jos 10:3-5), was defeated at Gibeon and slain at Makkedah (Jos 10:23). One of the 31 kings defeated in Joshua’ s campaign (Jos 12:11). In Jos 15:35 it is mentioned in conjunction with Adullam, Socoh and Azekah, and in Neh 11:29 with Zorah, Zanoah and Adullam. Cheyne (Encyclopedia Biblica) suggests that the Maroth of Mic 1:12 may be a copyist’s error for Jarmuth. In Eusebius, Onomasticon (OS2 132 31; 266 38) mention is made of a , Iermochos, or Jermucha, 10 Roman miles Northeast of Eleutheropolis (Beit Jibrn), The site of this once important place is Khirbet el Yarmuk, a ruin, with many old walls and cisterns, on the top of a hill 1,465 ft. above sealevel. It is nearly 2 miles Northwest of Beit Nattf, from which it is visible, and 8 1/2 miles, as measured on map, N.N.E. of Beit Jibrn. Compare PEF, III, 128, Sh XVIII.
(2) A city of Issachar belonging to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites (Jos 21:29); in the duplicate list in 1Ch 6:73 we have Ramoth, while in the Septuagint version of Jos 21:29 we have, in different VSS, Rhemmath or Iermoth. In Jos 19:21 Remeth occurs (in Hebrew) in the lists of cities of Issachar; in the Septuagint Rhemmas or Rhamath. The name was probably Remeth or Ramoth, but the place has never been identified with any certainty. See RAMOTH.
