Ramath of the south

Hebrew: Ramath-negeb)

The Hebrew negeb is the general designation for south or southwest of Judah. This was one of the towns of Simeon (Josh. 19:8). It is the same as "south Ramoth" (1 Sam. 30:27; R.V., "Ramoth of the south"). Its site is doubtful. Some have thought it another name for Baalath-beer.
