Ramoth-gilead

First, in plain English

A city of refuge in Gad's land east of the Jordan, and too useful for Israel and Aram to leave alone. Ahab died after being wounded there trying to take it back with Jehoshaphat.

Who this is

Ramoth-gilead was a city of refuge east of the Jordan in Gad's territory, strategically important enough to be repeatedly fought over between Israel and Aram. Ahab died there after being wounded while trying to retake it with Jehoshaphat's help, and it was there, years later, that Jehu was anointed king by one of Elisha's disciples while the army was stationed on the frontier. Its exact site is disputed among several candidates on the northern Gilead plateau.
