However, geographical names in the Hebrew Bible often do not have direct Greek equivalents unless they are mentioned in the Septuagint or the New Testament, which is not the case for Rumah. Usage: Rumah is mentioned in the context of a geographical location in the Hebrew Bible. It is noted as the hometown of Pedaiah, the father of Zebudah, who was the mother of King Jehoiakim of Judah. Context: Rumah is identified as a town in the ancient region of Israel. It is specifically mentioned in 2 Kings 23:36, where it is noted as the birthplace of Pedaiah, the father of Zebudah. Zebudah was the wife of King Josiah and the mother of King Jehoiakim. The exact location of Rumah is not definitively known, but it is traditionally associated with a site in the northern part of Israel, possibly near the region of Galilee. Some scholars suggest it may be identified with the modern-day site of Ruma, located in the vicinity of Nazareth. The name Rumah, meaning "height," suggests it may have been situated on elevated terrain, which was a common feature for ancient settlements due to strategic and defensive advantages.
