Rimmon
Opis
Nedostopna, skalnata naravna trdnjava [Sod 20:45 -47; Sod 21:13 ] med Gibeonom in Jordansko dolino. Tukaj se je 600 Benjaminovih mož štiri mesece skrivalo, da bi ubežali iztrebljenju, ki je doletelo Gibeon. Današnja vas Rammūn, 5 km vzhodno od Betela, spominja na ta kraj. R. Beerotčan, oče Baanaha in Rehaba iz Benjaminovega rodu [2Sam 4:2 , 5, 9], ki sta umorila Išbošeta. Kraj v rodu Zabulon, dodeljen levitom iz Merarijevega klana [1Krn 6:77 ]. Morda je enak kraju, ki je služil Damni [Joz 21:35 , prim. 19:13]. Raziskovalci verjamejo, da vas Rummāneh, približno 10 km severozahodno od Nazareta, označuje mesto starega R. Ime sirskega božanstva [akadijsko rammān = gospodar groma], katerega svetišče je bilo v Damasku. Po [2Kr 5:18 ] sta ga častila sirski kralj in njegov poveljnik Naaman. V Asiriji je bilo to božanstvo med 12 velikimi božanstvi; imelo je oblast nad dežjem in nevihtami, gromom in bliski. Bilo je enako Adadu, vrhovnemu sirskemu božanstvu. *Adad-rimon [Zah 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.
