Raham       merciful, one of the descendants of Caleb, the son of Hezron (1       Chr. 2:44).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Rain       There are three Hebrew words used to denote the rains of       different seasons, (1.) Yoreh (Hos. 6:3), or moreh (Joel 2:23),       denoting the former or the early rain. (2.) Melqosh, the "latter       rain" (Prov. 16:15). (3.) Geshem, the winter rain, "the rains."       The heavy winter rain is mentioned in Gen. 7:12; Ezra 10:9;       Cant. 2:11. The "early" or "former" rains commence in autumn in       the latter part of October or beginning of November (Deut.       11:14; Joel 2:23; comp. Jer. 3:3), and continue to fall heavily       for two months. Then the heavy "winter rains" fall from the       middle of December to March. There is no prolonged fair weather       in Palestine between October and March. The "latter" or spring       rains fall in March and April, and serve to swell the grain then       coming to maturity (Deut. 11:14; Hos. 6:3). After this there is       ordinarily no rain, the sky being bright and cloudless till       October or November.                Rain is referred to symbolically in Deut. 32:2; Ps. 72:6; Isa.       44:3, 4; Hos. 10:12.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ram       exalted. (1.) The son of Hezron, and one of the ancestors of the       royal line (Ruth 4:19). The margin of 1 Chr. 2:9, also Matt.       1:3, 4 and Luke 3:33, have "Aram."                (2.) One of the sons of Jerahmeel (1 Chr. 2:25, 27).                (3.) A person mentioned in Job 32:2 as founder of a clan to       which Elihu belonged. The same as Aram of Gen. 22:21.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Rama       (Matt. 2:18), the Greek form of Ramah. (1.) A city first       mentioned in Josh. 18:25, near Gibeah of Benjamin. It was       fortified by Baasha, king of Israel (1 Kings 15:17-22; 2 Chr.       16:1-6). Asa, king of Judah, employed Benhadad the Syrian king       to drive Baasha from this city (1 Kings 15:18, 20). Isaiah       (10:29) refers to it, and also Jeremiah, who was once a prisoner       there among the other captives of Jerusalem when it was taken by       Nebuchadnezzar (Jer. 39:8-12; 40:1). Rachel, whose tomb lies       close to Bethlehem, is represented as weeping in Ramah (Jer.       31:15) for her slaughtered children. This prophecy is       illustrated and fulfilled in the re-awakening of Rachel's grief       at the slaughter of the infants in Bethlehem (Matt. 2:18). It is       identified with the modern village of er-Ram, between Gibeon and       Beeroth, about 5 miles due north of Jerusalem. (See {SAMUEL}.)                (2.) A town identified with Rameh, on the border of Asher,       about 13 miles south-east of Tyre, "on a solitary hill in the       midst of a basin of green fields" (Josh. 19:29).                (3.) One of the "fenced cities" of Naphtali (Josh. 19:36), on       a mountain slope, about seven and a half miles west-south-west       of Safed, and 15 miles west of the north end of the Sea of       Galilee, the present large and well-built village of Rameh.                (4.) The same as Ramathaim-zophim (q.v.), a town of Mount       Ephraim (1 Sam. 1:1, 19).                (5.) The same as Ramoth-gilead (q.v.), 2 Kings 8:29; 2 Chr.       22:6.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Rehum       merciful. (1.) One of "the children of the province" who       returned from the Captivity (Ezra 2:2); the same as "Nehum"       (Neh. 7:7).                (2.) The "chancellor" of Artaxerxes, who sought to stir him up       against the Jews (Ezra 4:8-24) and prevent the rebuilding of the       walls and the temple of Jerusalem.                (3.) A Levite (Neh. 3:17).                (4.) Neh. 10:25.                (5.) A priest (Neh. 12:3).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Rome       the most celebrated city in the world at the time of Christ. It       is said to have been founded B.C. 753. When the New Testament       was written, Rome was enriched and adorned with the spoils of       the world, and contained a population estimated at 1,200,000, of       which the half were slaves, and including representatives of       nearly every nation then known. It was distinguished for its       wealth and luxury and profligacy. The empire of which it was the       capital had then reached its greatest prosperity.                On the day of Pentecost there were in Jerusalem "strangers       from Rome," who doubtless carried with them back to Rome tidings       of that great day, and were instrumental in founding the church       there. Paul was brought to this city a prisoner, where he       remained for two years (Acts 28:30, 31) "in his own hired       house." While here, Paul wrote his epistles to the Philippians,       to the Ephesians, to the Colossians, to Philemon, and probably       also to the Hebrews. He had during these years for companions       Luke and Aristarchus (Acts 27:2), Timothy (Phil. 1:1; Col. 1:1),       Tychicus (Eph. 6: 21), Epaphroditus (Phil. 4:18), and John Mark       (Col. 4:10). (See {PAUL}.)                Beneath this city are extensive galleries, called "catacombs,"       which were used from about the time of the apostles (one of the       inscriptions found in them bears the date A.D. 71) for some       three hundred years as places of refuge in the time of       persecution, and also of worship and burial. About four thousand       inscriptions have been found in the catacombs. These give an       interesting insight into the history of the church at Rome down       to the time of Constantine.
