Ramathite

Ramathite is a gentillic adjective designating a person from Ramah. It appears in 1 Chronicles 27:27, where Shimei the Ramathite is listed as the official in charge of David's vineyards. The designation distinguishes him from other officials in David's administrative lists. Ramah was the name of several towns in ancient Israel; the Ramah from which this official came was likely the Benjamin or Ephraim town, though the specific identification is uncertain.
