beth -gā´mul ( בּית גּמוּל , bēth gāmūl ; οῖκος Γαιμώλ , oı́kos Gaimō̇l ; Codex Sinaiticus, Γαμωλά , Gamōlá ): A city in Moab named with Dibon, Kiriathaim and Beth-meon (Jeremiah 48:23 ). Conder places it at Umm el -Jamāl , toward East of the plateau, S. of Medeba (HDB , under the word). Others (Guthe, Kurz. bib. Wörterbuch , under the word; Buhl, GAP , 268, etc.) favor Jemeil , a site 6 miles East of Dhı̄bān . Since the town is not mentioned among the cities of Israel Buhl doubts if it should be sought North of the Arnon.
