Rumah — a place name appearing in the account of King Jehoiakim's lineage
Rumah is a place name mentioned only in connection with Zebudah, the mother of King Jehoiakim. The location is identified as the hometown of Jehoiakim's mother. The Septuagint offers varied transliterations (Krouma, Ryma, Lobenna), suggesting uncertainty about the precise location even in antiquity. Some scholars have connected it with Arumah in Judges 9:41, though this remains speculative.
