Rimon
Penerangan
Sebuah kubu semula jadi yang sukar diakses dan berbatu [Hak 20:45 -47; Hak 21:13 ] antara Gibeon dan Lembah Yordan. Di sini, 600 lelaki Benyamin bersembunyi selama empat bulan untuk melarikan diri daripada pemusnahan yang menimpa Gibeon. Kampung Rammūn hari ini, 5 km timur Bethel, mengingatkan tempat ini. R. Beerothite, bapa kepada Baanah dan Rechab dari suku Benyamin [2Sam 4:2 , 5, 9], yang membunuh Ish-bosheth. Tempat dalam suku Zebulun, diperuntukkan kepada orang Lewi dari puak Merari [1Taw 6:77 ]. Ia mungkin sama dengan tempat yang melayani Damnah [Yos 21:35 , bnd. 19:13]. Penyelidik percaya bahawa kampung Rummāneh, kira-kira 10 km barat laut Nazareth, menandakan tapak R. lama. Nama dewa Syria [Akkadian rammān = tuan guruh], yang tempat sucinya berada di Damsyik. Menurut [2Raj 5:18 ], raja Syria dan komandernya Naaman menyembahnya. Di Asyur, dewa ini adalah antara 12 dewa besar; ia memiliki kekuasaan atas hujan dan ribut, guruh, dan kilat. Ia sama dengan Adad, dewa agung Syria. *Adad-rimmon [Zak 12:11 ].

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.
