Ramah: Also Called Ramathaim-Zophim: Home of Samuel

The next morning they got up early to bow in worship before the LORD, and then they returned home to Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her.

So in the course of time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the LORD.”

Then he would return to Ramah because his home was there, and there he judged Israel and built an altar to the LORD.

So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.

Then Samuel went to Ramah, but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.

So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day forward. Then Samuel set out and went to Ramah.
