 rimmon
 乃縵

From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Rimmon
    pomegranate. (1.) A man of Beeroth (2 Sam. 4:2), one of the four
    Gibeonite cities. (See Josh. 9:17.)
      (2.) A Syrian idol, mentioned only in 2 Kings 5:18.
      (3.) One of the "uttermost cities" of Judah, afterwards given
    to Simeon (Josh. 15:21, 32; 19:7; 1 Chr. 4:32). In Josh. 15:32
    Ain and Rimmon are mentioned separately, but in 19:7 and 1 Chr.
    4:32 (comp. Neh. 11:29) the two words are probably to be
    combined, as forming together the name of one place,
    Ain-Rimmon=the spring of the pomegranate. It has been identified
    with Um er-Rumamin, about 13 miles south-west of Hebron.
      (4.) "Rock of," to which the Benjamites fled (Judg. 20:45, 47;
    21:13), and where they maintained themselves for four months
    after the fearful battle at Gibeah, in which they were almost
    exterminated, 600 only surviving out of about 27,000. It is the
    present village of Rummon, "on the very edge of the hill
    country, with a precipitous descent toward the Jordan valley,"
    supposed to be the site of Ai.
