“A sound was heard in Ramah.\par It was bitter crying\par and much sadness.\par Rachel cries for her children;\par and she cannot be comforted,\par because her children are dead.”\par \i (Jeremiah 31:15)\i0 \par
But Samuel’s home was in Ramah. So Samuel always went back to Ramah. Samuel judged and ruled Israel from that town. And Samuel built an altar to the Lord in Ramah.
