For Ramah was a city of Benjamin, situated on the confines of both kingdoms, probably on a hill, as the name imports, commanding a narrow defile between the mountains, through which lay the principal road to Jerusalem; so that a fortification being erected here, no communication could be held between the people of Israel and Judah, without Baasha's permission. 1Kgs 15:21; Josh 18:25; 1Sam 15:34; Jer 31:15 he might not suffer 1Kgs 12:27; 2Chr 11:13-17 Asa 1Kgs 15:15, 1Kgs 14:26; 2Kgs 12:18, 2Kgs 18:15-16; 2Chr 15:18, 2Chr 16:2-6 Benhadad 1Kgs 20:1-5, 1Kgs 20:33-34; 2Kgs 8:7-15 Damascus 1Kgs 11:23-24; Gen 14:15, Gen 15:2; Jer 49:27; Amos 1:4 There is a league 2Chr 19:2; Isa 31:1 break thy league 2Sam 21:2; 2Chr 16:3; Ezek 17:13-16; Rom 1:31, Rom 3:8 depart Heb. go up Ijon Probably the same as Hazar-enan, a frontier town to Damascus (Ezek 48:1); and perhaps the Inna of Coele-Syria, long. 68 degrees and a half, lat. 33 degrees, according to Ptolemy. 2Kgs 15:29 Dan 1Kgs 12:29; Gen 14:14; Judg 18:29, Abel-beth-maachah, 2Sam 20:14-15 Cinneroth Josh 11:2, Josh 12:3 when Baasha 2Chr 16:5 Tirzah 1Kgs 14:17, 1Kgs 16:15-18; Song 6:4 made a proclamation 2Chr 16:6 exempted Heb. free Geba Josh 18:24, Gaba, Josh 21:17 Mizpah Josh 18:26; 1Sam 7:5, Mizpeh, Jer 40:6, Jer 40:10
