Rimmon
Opis
Mesto na južnem delu ozemlja Judovega rodu [Joz 15:32 ]; dodeljeno je bilo Simeonovemu rodu [Joz 19:7 ]. V Stari zavezi je to mesto vedno povezano z mestom *Ain [1Krn 4:32 ]. Po vrnitvi iz ujetništva se pojavlja samo v sestavljenem imenu En-remmon, tj. Ain-Remmon, kar kaže na to, da sta bila oba kraja združena v eno [Neh 11:29 ]. Pogosto ga identificirajo z ruševinami Ummer-Rumamim, približno 14 km severno 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.
