Rimmon 2
Kirjeldus
Lõunaosas asuv linn Juuda suguharu territooriumil [Joos 15:32 ]; see eraldati Siimeoni suguharule [Joos 19:7 ]. Vana Testamendis seostatakse seda linna alati *Aini linnaga [1Aj 4:32 ]. Pärast vangipõlvest naasmist ilmub see ainult liitnimes En-remmon, st Ain-Remmon, mis viitab sellele, et mõlemad kohad liideti üheks [Neh 11:29 ]. Sageli samastatakse seda Ummer-Rumamini varemetega, umbes 14 km põhja pool Beer-Sebast.

Rimmon
pomegranate.
(1.) A man of Beeroth (2Sam 4:2), one of the four Gibeonite cities. [See (Josh 9:17)].
(2.) A Syrian idol, mentioned only in (2Kings 5:18).
(3.) One of the "uttermost cities" of Judah, afterwards given to Simeon (Josh 15:21; 15:32; 19:7; 1Chr 4:32). In (Josh 15:32) Ain and Rimmon are mentioned separately, but in (Josh 19:7) and (1Chr 4:32) [comp. (Neh 11:29 )] the two words are probably to be combined, as forming together the name of one place, Ain-Rimmon = the spring of the pomegranate. It has been identified with Um er-Rumamin, about 13 miles south-west of Hebron.
(4.) "Rock of," to which the Benjamites fled (Judg 20:45; 20:47; 21:13), and where they maintained themselves for four months after the fearful battle at Gibeah, in which they were almost exterminated, 600 only surviving out of about 27,000. It is the present village of Rummon, "on the very edge of the hill country, with a precipitous descent toward the Jordan valley," supposed to be the site of Ai.
