Ramoth, a place name designating cities in Israel, most notably the fortified city of Ramoth-Gilead
Derived from a root meaning 'height,' Ramoth names one or more elevated cities, the most significant being Ramoth-Gilead in the tribal territory of Gad. Designated a city of refuge (Deut 4:43; Josh 20:8; 21:38), it later became a flashpoint between Israel and Aram—Ahab died trying to recapture it (1 Kgs 22:3–6), and Jehu was anointed king there (2 Kgs 9:1–4). A second Ramoth, assigned to Issachar's Levites (1 Chr 6:58), also appears. French 'Ramoth,' German 'Ramot,' and Spanish 'Ramot' all preserve the name consistently.

A second Ramoth in Issachar is a Levitical city (1 Chr 6:58).
