Summary

A Moabite city in the plain east of the Jordan against which Jeremiah prophesied judgment.

☩Moabite City

Beth-gamul was a city in the 'plain country' or downs of Moab, listed among the cities upon which Jeremiah pronounced divine judgment. It is possibly identified with the ruins at Um el-Jemal, one of the deserted cities of the Hauran, a fine example of an ancient unwalled town with large open spaces and broad stone streets.
