-Ramothgilead:.American Tract Society Bible Dictionary:."A famous city in the mountains of Gilead; often called RamothGilead and sometimes Ramath-Mizpeh or the Watchtower.  It belonged to Gad, was assigned to the Levites and became one of the cities of refuge beyond the Jordan river. It was famous during the reigns of the later kings of Israel and was the occasion of several wars between these princes and the kings of Damascus, who had conquered it and from whom the kings of Israel endeavored to regain it. Here Ahab died, Joram was wounded and Jehu was anointed king of Israel."

-Rechabites:.comprised from.Easton's Bible Dictionary: the descendants of Rechab through Jonadab aka Jehonadab, a chief of ancient peoples known as the Kenites. They belonged to the Kenites.(Genesis 15:19-21), who accompanied the children of Israel into Palestine and dwelt among them.

Moses had a Kenite woman as partner:.Judges 1:16. Jael was the wife of "Heber the Kenite":.Judges 4:17. Saul also 
showed kindness to the Kenites:.1Samuel 15:6.

The main body of the Kenites dwelt in cities and adopted settled habits of life.1Samuel 30:29. The area they occupied was a Canaanitish city on the extreme south of the wilderness of Judah, the inhabitants of which under king Arad, drove back the Hebrews, also called Israelites, as they attempted to enter the promised land from Kadesh:.Numbers 32:11,12; 21:1. It was afterwards subdued:.2Numbers 21:3. Its site is on a hill about fifteen miles south of Hebron.

Jehonadab forbade his descendants, these Rechabites, to drink wine or to live in cities as he thought it best for them to live a nomad life. They were noted for their fidelity to the old-established custom of their family in the days of Jeremiah:.Jeremiah 35:1-12. This feature of their character is referred to by the prophet Jeremiah for the purpose of giving point to his exhortation of what God told him to relate to the stubborn tribe of Judah. They are referred to in Nehemiah 3:14 and 1Chrronicles 2:55.

Dr. Wolff in 1839 found in Arabia, near Mecca, a tribe claiming to be descendants of Jehonadab and recently a Bedouin tribe has been found near the Dead Sea who also profess to be descendants of the same Kenite chief.

Comprised from.Barnes Notes:.Travelers bear witness to the existence of a large tribe who represent themselves as the descendants of the Rechabites. The prediction was also literally fulfilled in the Rechabites being in some way incorporated into the tribe of Levi.(Deuteronomy 10:8), whose office especially it was to."stand before".God, that is, to be of the mind of God in helping others be that way also.

Rephidim:.was an encampment of the Israelites between the wilderness of Sin.(Exodus 17:1).and mount Sinai.(map), where the people murmured and God gave them water from the rock. Here also the Amalekites attacked them and were defeated. It is thought to have been in the valley now called esh-Sheikh, a day's march northwest of Sinai and near the western border of the Horeb group of mountains.
