Morrish Bible Dictionary
Raamses, [Raam'ses] Rameses. [Ram'eses]District in Goshen in Lower Egypt, east of the Nile, in which Jacob and his descendants were placed, and in which they built a treasure city of the same name for Pharaoh. It was from thence the Israelites began their march out of Egypt. Gen. 47:11; Ex. 1:11; Ex. 12:37; Num. 33:3, 5. It is not identified. It is a disputed point as to whether the name of the district or of the city had any connection with the Egyptian kings named Rameses.

Rabmag
Rabmag. [Rab-mag]This is not a proper name, but the title of Nergal-sharezer. Jer. 39:3, 13. It has been supposed by some to signify 'chief of the Magi,' and by others, 'chief priest.' On the monuments it is given as ruba emga, which has been interpreted 'the glorious prince.' This would be an appropriate title if Nergal-sharezer is the same person who became Neriglissar the king.
Rabsaris
Rabsaris. [Rab-saris]This, like Rab-mag, is a title, its meaning being 'chief eunuch.' It was the title of one who accompanied the Assyrian army when it was sent against Hezekiah. 2 Kings 18:17. One of the princes of Nebuchadnezzar at the siege of Jerusalem also bore this title. Jer. 39:3, 13.
Rabshakeh
Rabshakeh. [Rab'-shakeh]This is a title, signifying 'chief cup-bearer,' borne by an officer who was sent by Sennacherib with the Tartan (general) and a Rab-saris to Jerusalem. He was the chief spokesman; and from the fact of his being able to speak in the Jews' language, he is supposed to have been either a proselyte or an apostate Jew. If so he may possibly have been acquainted with Isa. 10:5-6, for he says, "Am I now come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it." 2 Kings 18:17-37. On the other hand, he profanely classes the God of Israel with all the gods that could not protect their worshippers from his master. 2 Kings 19:4, 8; Isa. 36:2-22; Isa. 37:4-8.
