Rimon
Опис
Nepristupačna, stjenovita prirodna tvrđava [Sud 20:45 -47; Sud 21:13 ] između Gibeona i Jordanske doline. Ovde se 600 Benjaminovih ljudi sakrilo četiri meseca kako bi izbegli istrebljenje koje je zadesilo Gibeon. Današnje selo Rammūn, 5 km istočno od Betela, podseća na ovo mesto. R. Beerotac, otac Baanaha i Rehaba iz plemena Benjamin [2Sam 4:2 , 5, 9], koji su ubili Išbošeta. Mesto u plemenu Zavulon, dodeljeno Levitima iz klana Merari [1Dnv 6:77 ]. Možda je identično mestu koje služi Damni [IsN 21:35 , up. 19:13]. Istraživači veruju da selo Rummāneh, oko 10 km severozapadno od Nazareta, označava mesto starog R. Ime sirijskog božanstva [Akadski rammān = gospodar groma], čije je svetilište bilo u Damasku. Prema [2Car 5:18 ], sirijski kralj i njegov zapovednik Naaman obožavali su ga. U Asiriji, ovo božanstvo je bilo među 12 velikih božanstava; imalo je vlast nad kišom i olujama, gromom i munjama. Bilo je identično Adadu, vrhovnom sirijskom božanstvu. *Adad-rimmon [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.
