rim.mon is a proper place-name used for settlements, a border location, and a rock refuge.

The term is chiefly a proper place-name in settlement lists and geographical descriptions, including a point on a border; it also occurs in the designation of a rock in the wilderness where men of Benjamin fled and remained.

   The proper-noun form occurs among named cities in Joshua 15:32, Joshua 19:7, and 1 Chronicles 4:32; in Joshua 19:13 the APB renders a route that “came out at Rimmon,” where it is marked as a border. Zechariah 14:10 likewise places it in a geographical extent south of Jerusalem. In 1 Chronicles 6:62 the form is present in a city-allocation context, though the APB does not visibly reproduce the name.
