1 Now there was a man of Ra·math·aʹim-zoʹphim*+ of the mountainous region of Eʹphra·im+ whose name was El·kaʹnah,+ the son of Je·roʹham, the son of E·liʹhu, the son of Toʹhu, the son of Zuph, an Eʹphra·im·ite.

4 In time all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Raʹmah.

18 Now David had run away and escaped, and he came to Samuel at Raʹmah.+ He told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went away, and they stayed in Naiʹoth.+
