About this place
Rabbah is named once, in the list of the towns of Judah: “Kiriath Baal (also called Kiriath Jearim), and Rabbah; two cities with their villages” (Joshua 15:60). That part of the list is headed “In the hill country” (Joshua 15:48), so Rabbah stood in the hills of Judah. Its site is not known for certain.
It is a different place from Rabbah of the Ammonites, east of the Jordan: “Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city” (2 Samuel 12:26).
