Rimmon Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Rimmon is mentioned in Joshua 15:32 as one of the towns allotted to the tribe of Judah in the Negev region. It is listed among the towns in the southern part of Judah's territory. In Joshua 19:7 and 1Ch.4.32, Rimmon is included in the list of towns given to the tribe of Simeon within Judah's inheritance. This suggests that Rimmon was initially part of Judah's territory but was later assigned to Simeon. The exact location of Rimmon is not specified, but it was situated in the Negev, the southern desert region of Judah.
Rimmon 3 Dictionary
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
One of the “uttermost cities” of Judah, afterwards given to Simeon (Josh. 15:21, 32; 19:7; 1 Chr. 4:32). In Josh. 15:32 Ain and Rimmon are mentioned separately, but in 19:7 and 1 Chr. 4:32 (comp. Neh. 11:29) the two words are probably to be combined, as forming together the name of one place, Ain-Rimmon=the spring of the pomegranate. It has been identified with Um er-Rumamin, about 13 miles south-west of Hebron.
