JARAMOTH, Jarmuth or Jerimoth, a City of Judah. Joshua killed the King of Jerimoth. Josh. x. 5. St. Jerom places Jarmuth at four miles distance from Eleutheropolis, near Esthaol; and speaking of Jarmus, he says, that Jarmutha, the same probably as Jarmuth and Jerimoth, is ten miles from Eleutheropolis in the way to Jerusalem. There must be a mistake in one or other of these passages.
