(Heb. with the art. äִâִּøְîִé , hag-Garnzi'; Sept. Ãáñìß v.r. Ï᾿ôáñìß and ῾Ïãáñìß ; Vulg. Garmi), an epithet of KEILAH SEE KEILAH (q.v.) in the obscure genealogy (1Ch_4:19) of Mered (q.v.); apparently to denote its strength (i.q. bony, from âֶּøֶí ; see Pro_25:15; Job_40:18); bhmt'regarded by Gesenius and FUrst (after the Targum, ad loc.) as a proper name: the form (like that of the associated soubriquets) is patrial, as if from a town, Gerem; but no such place is elsewhere mentioned, unless it be the Beth-Garem ( áéú âøí ) of the Talmud (Erubim, fol. 19, a), and the Mansul Garem of Astori, east of Gaza, referred to by Schwarz (Palest. page 118) as now unknown.
