Ramoth-gilead - heights of Gilead, a city of refuge on the east of the Jordan river; called "Ramoth in Gilead" (Deuteronomy 4:43; Book of Joshua 20:8; 21:38). Here Ahab, who joined Jehoshaphat in an effort to confront the king of the Arameans, was mortally wounded (Books of Kings 22:1-36). A similar attempt was afterwards made by Ahaziah of Judah and Jehoram of Judah, when the latter was wounded (2 Kings 8:28). In this city Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, was anointed by one of the sons of the prophets (9:1, 4). It has with probability been identified with Reimun, on the northern slope of the Jabbok, about 5 miles west of Jerash or Gerasa, one of the cities of Decapolis. Others identify it with Gerosh, about 25 miles north-east of es-Salt, with which also many have identified it. (See Ramath-Mizpeh .) Torah places Hebrew Bible/Tanakh places
