Rimmon:

(pomegranate) the name of several towns.

(1.) A city of Zebulun (1 Chronicles 6:77; Nehemiah 11:29) a Levitical city, the present Rummaneh, six miles north of Nazareth.

(2.) A town in the southern portion of Judah (Joshua 15:3) allotted to Simeon (Joshua 19:7; 1 Chronicles 4:32) probably 13 miles southwest of Hebron.

(3.) Rimmon‐parez (pomegranate of the breach) the name of a march‐station in the wilderness (Numbers 33:19, 20). No place now known has been identified with it.

(4.) Rimmon the Rock, a cliff or inaccessible natural fastness, in which the six hundred Benjamites who escaped the slaughter of Gibeah took refuge (Judges 20:45; 20:47; 21:13). In the wild country which lies on the east of the central highlands of Benjamin the name is still found attached to a village perched on the summit of a conical chalky hill, visible in all directions, and commanding the whole country.

(5.) A Benjamite of Beeroth, the father of Rechab and Baanah, the murderers of Ish‐bosheth (2 Samuel 4:2; 4:5; 4:9). "
