Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jarmuth, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Jarmuth is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a city in ancient Israel. Context: Jarmuth is mentioned in the Old Testament as a significant city in the Shephelah, the lowland region of ancient Judah. It is first noted in the Book of Joshua as one of the cities whose king, Piram, joined a coalition against Joshua and the Israelites (Joshua 10:3). This coalition was defeated by Joshua in the battle of Gibeon, where the sun famously stood still (Joshua 10:12-14). Jarmuth is later listed among the cities allotted to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:35). The city is also mentioned in the context of the post-exilic period, where the inhabitants of Jarmuth are noted among those who returned from Babylonian captivity (Nehemiah 11:29). Archaeological evidence suggests that Jarmuth was a fortified city, strategically located to control the surrounding region. Its identification is often associated with the modern site of Khirbet Yarmuk, although this is subject to ongoing scholarly debate.
