(Heb. Rumah', יוּמָה, high; Sept. ῾Ρουμά; Vulg. Ruma; Josephus, Ἀβούμα, Ant. 10, 5, 2), a city named only in 2 Kings 23:36 as the home of Pedaiah, father of Jehoiakim's mother, Zebudah. It is probably the same with Arumah (Judges 9:41), which is identified by Schwarz (Palest. p. 158) with the modern Ramin, two miles west of Samaria. (See ARUMAH). Josephus mentions a Rumash in Galilee (War, 2, 7, 21). Others with less probability regard this as identical with Dumah, one of the towns in the mountains of Judah, near Hebron (Joshua 15:52), not far distant from Libnah, the native town of another of Josiah's wives.
