Comment:
The assertion, that there was a city named "Ramah" which was located about 5 miles (8 km) north of Jerusalem in Benjamin, does not appear to be correct because no such city is indicated at or near that location, or anywhere else in Benjamin, on any map thus far examined. The only city which was named "Ramah" (or any variation thereof), which has been found on any map examined to date, was located in Naphtali, Galilee.
