What happened at Ramoth?

Ramoth, also known as Ramoth-gilead, Galeed, Ramah, Ramath-mizpeh, Mizpah, and Jegar-sahadutha, was an important city east of the Jordan River. It was designated as a city of refuge (Deu. 4:43; Jos. 20:8) and a Levitical city in the territory of Gad (Jos. 21:38; 1Ch. 6:80). Ramoth-gilead was the site of several battles between Israel and Aram (1Ki. 22; 2Ki. 8-9; 2Ch. 18; 22). It is also mentioned in the story of Israel (or 'Jacob') and Laban, who made a covenant there and named the place Galeed and Mizpah (Gen. 31:47-49). The exact location is uncertain, but it was likely an important fortress city in Gilead guarding a key trade route.

"People don't give up on the Bible for lack of discipline. They give up because they don't understand what they read. So they skim past it and jump straight to what it means for them, before they have listened to what God is saying through the words, the story, and the voice of the writer. It happens so often that theology has a name for it: eisegesis."

The streak feature actually got people in my congregation excited to read, especially the youth. We've started comparing notes after service.
