Rimon 2
Opis
Grad u južnom dijelu teritorija plemena Jude [Jš 15:32 ]; bio je dodijeljen plemenu Simeon [Jš 19:7 ]. U Starom zavjetu, ovaj grad uvijek je povezan s gradom *Ain [1Ljet 4:32 ]. Nakon povratka iz zarobljeništva, pojavljuje se samo u složenom imenu En-remmon, tj. Ain-Remmon, što ukazuje da su oba mjesta spojena u jedno [Neh 11:29 ]. Često se identificira s ruševinama Ummer-Rumamim, oko 14 km sjeverno od Beershebe.

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.
