Where is Ammah in the Bible?
Ammah is a hill mentioned in the Bible as being located near Giah on the route toward the wilderness of Gibeon in ancient Israel. The place appears in 2 Samuel 2:24 in connection with the pursuit of Abner by Joab during the conflict between David's forces and the house of Saul. Although Ammah is referenced in this significant military narrative, its exact geographical location has not been definitively identified by modern scholars. The wilderness of Gibeon, with which it is associated, places it in the central region of ancient Palestine, likely in the territory of Benjamin.
