Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ramoth-Gilead in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, references to the city in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) would use a transliteration of the Hebrew name.

Usage: Ramoth-Gilead is a proper noun referring to a city of refuge located in the territory of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. It is mentioned in various contexts, primarily as a site of military significance and a city of refuge.

Context: Ramoth-Gilead was a significant city in the biblical region of Gilead, which was part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Gad. It served as one of the cities of refuge, where individuals who had committed unintentional manslaughter could seek asylum (Deuteronomy 4:43; Joshua 20:8). The city is frequently mentioned in the context of military campaigns and conflicts between Israel and Aram (Syria).

In 1 Kings 22, King Ahab of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah joined forces to reclaim Ramoth-Gilead from the Arameans. The battle resulted in the death of Ahab, fulfilling the prophecy of the prophet Micaiah. The city is also mentioned in 2 Kings 8:28-29 and 2 Chronicles 18:28-34, where King Joram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah fought against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-Gilead.

Ramoth-Gilead's strategic location made it a focal point in the power struggles of the region. Its designation as a city of refuge highlights its importance in the legal and religious framework of ancient Israel.
