Alemeth; a Benjamite personal name and a Levitical city, meaning uncertain
A name appearing in two contexts: as a Benjamite descendant in genealogies and as a Levitical city (also spelled Almon elsewhere). In 1 Chronicles 6-9, the genealogical lists show variant spellings reflecting textual transmission. The LXX Greek transliterations vary widely (Salamaith, Galemeth, Alamoth), suggesting scribal uncertainty about the exact form. As a place name, it designates a Levitical city in Benjamin's territory. The multilingual evidence shows transliteration rather than translation, typical for proper names.
Senses

The diverse LXX renderings indicate textual fluidity in proper name transmission. 4×
