Subjects in this Topic:
GATH-RIMMON.—1. A city in Dan, near Jebud and Bene-herak (Jos_19:45), assigned to the Kohathites (Jos_21:24), and reckoned (1Ch_6:69) to Ephraim. It is unidentified. 2. A city of Manasseh, assigned to the Kohathites (Jos_21:25). LXX [Note: Septuagint.] has Iebatha (B), or Baithsa (A), while 1Ch_6:70 has Bileam = Ibleam (wh. see). The position of the town is not indicated, so in this confusion no identification is possible.
