(Heb.
Ramath-negeb). The Heb.
negeb is the general designation for south or south-west of Judah. This was one of the towns of Simeon (
Josh. 19:8). It is the same as "south Ramoth" (
1 Sam. 30:27; R.V., "Ramoth of the south"). Its site is doubtful. Some have thought it another name for Baalath-beer.
