Ramah (from Hebrew: "height"[1]) was, according to the Hebrew Bible, a city in ancient Israel in the land allocated to the tribe of Benjamin. It was located near Gibeon and Mizpah to the West, Gibeah to the South, and Geba to the East.
Ramah has been commonly identified with modern al-Ram, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north of Jerusalem.[2][3][4][5] Ne'eman preferred to identify Ramah with the nearby site of Nabi Samwil.[6]
