RUMAH.—The home of Pedaiah, the maternal grandfather of Jehoiakim (2Ki_23:36). Josephus (Ant. X. v. 2) reads Abouma, no doubt a scribal error for Arouma, which may be the Arumah of Jdg_9:41 near Shechem. There was another Rumah in Galilee (Jos [Note: Josephus.] BJ III. vii. 21), perhaps the modern Rumeh near Nazareth; and Pedaiah may have been a Galilæan.
