The interview between Samuel and the el-
ders was held at Ramah. ". A. Samuel re-
sided there. Jerome says it was about six miles
north OF Jerusalem. 1t was on Mount Ephraui.

Ramah means simply high place, aud hence
it il not wonderful we have several diGcreut
Ranahs mentioned in the Bible. IL WAS also
called Ramathain-zaph him, meaning the emf
nences of the watchers. This namo originated
from the fact that tbs elevation was once occu.

observations. From Ramsh Samuel went forth
