Ramoth-Gilead, was a Levitical city and city of refuge east of the Jordan river in the Hebrew Bible called "Ramoth in Gilead" or "Ramoth Galaad" in the Douay-Rheims Bible. It was located in the tribal territorial allotment of the tribe of Gad. According to, Ramothgilead was the base of one of King Solomon's regional governors, he was responsible for the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, in Gilead and the region of Argob in Bashan: sixty large cities with walls and bronze gate-bars. It appears to have been lost to Syria during the battles between the northern kingdom of Israel and Syria, as Ahab, King of Israel, proposed to go to battle to win it back. After consulting prophets about the prospects of success, Ahab went to fight for Ramoth in Gilead, aided by Jehoshaphat, King of Judah. During the battle, Ahab was wounded by an arrow, he was propped up in his chariot facing the enemy, but by evening Ahab had bled to death and the Syrians won the battle. An incident occurred when Ahaziah and Joram fought against Hazael, king of Aram-Damascus, Joram was wounded.

In this city, the prophet of God told one of the sons of the prophets to anoint Jehu, Joram's commander, king over Israel. The British Bible scholar, Hugh J. Schonfield theorized that the location of Armageddon, mentioned only in the New Testament, at, is a Greek garbling of a supposed late Aramaic name for Ramoth-Gilead, it has with probability been identified with Reimun, on the northern slope of the Jabbok, about 5 miles west of Jerash or Gerasa, one of the cities of Decapolis. Other possible locations include: Gerosh, about 25 miles north-east of Salt Ramath-Mizpeh. Tell er-Rumeith, about 36 miles north-north-east of Salt, Jordan This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Easton, Matthew George. "Ramoth-Gilead".

Frank Edwin "Tug" McGraw, Jr. was an American professional baseball relief pitcher and the father of country music singer and actor Tim McGraw. As a Major League Baseball player, Tug McGraw is remembered for coining the phrase, "Ya Gotta Believe", which became a popular rallying cry for the New York Mets teams of the mid-60s and early 70s, for recording the final out, via a strikeout of the Kansas City Royals' Willie Wilson, in the 1980 World Series, thereby bringing the Philadelphia Phillies their first world championship, he was the last active big league player. McGraw was born in California, to Frank Edwin "Big Mac" McGraw, Sr. and Mable McKenna. He got the nickname "Tug" from his mother because of the aggressive way he breast-fed. Frank Senior was the great-grandson of Irish immigrants. McGraw graduated from St. Vincent Ferrer High School in Vallejo, California, in 1962, he enrolled in Solano Community College and signed with the New York Mets as an amateur free agent on June 12, 1964 upon graduation.

After one season with the Mets, McGraw reported to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island on September 23, 1965, along with fellow New York Met pitcher Jim Bethke. He was trained as a rifleman on the M14 M60 machine gun. McGraw reported to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune where he became a "trained killer."For McGraw one of the most challenging aspects of being in the military was the internal conflict which it stirred within him. At the same time that he was finishing his Marine training, Tug McGraw's brother, Dennis McGraw, was staging anti-war protests at Solano Community College, where he was a student. In a March 5, 1967 New York Times article McGraw admitted that he and his brother would have arguments over the way the Vietnam War was being conducted, but he, with his six-year Reserve commitment to the United States Marine Corps looming large over him, would admit that he was a "dove when it came to the way conducting the war." McGraw was used both out of the bullpen in the minors.

That same year, when asked if he preferred the new AstroTurf on the field at the Houston Astrodome to real grass, he said, "I don't know, I never smoked AstroTurf". McGraw made the team as a reliever, was 0–1 with a 3.12 ERA and one save when he made his first major league start on July 28 against the Chicago Cubs in the second game of a double header at Wrigley Field. He Lasted just two-thirds of an inning and gave up three earned runs on his way to a 9–0 loss. On August 22, in his second start in the second game of a double header, only this time against the St. Louis Cardinals at Shea Stadium, McGraw pitched a complete game to earn his first major league win, he won his next start as well, 5 -- 2 over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It marked the first time the Mets had beaten the future Hall of Famer. McGraw remained in the Mets' starting rotation for the remainder of the season, failed to log another win, going 2–6 as a starter, 0–1 in relief; the Mets used McGraw as a starter again in 1966, he was 2–9 with a 5.52 ERA in that role.

Though he made four starts with the Mets in 1967, McGraw spent most of the season, all of 1968 in the minor leagues with the Jacksonville Suns. By the time he returned to the Mets in 1969, manager Gil Hodges had a capable young pitching rotation that included Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman and Gary Gentry and had no need for McGraw as a starter until Koosman went down with an injury in May. McGraw went 1–1 with a 5.23 ERA filling in for Koosman. Koosman returned to the rotation at the end of the month and on May 28, after a five-game losing streak that saw the Mets fall into fourth place in the newly aligned National League East and the San Diego Padres' Clay Kirby engaged in a pitchers' duel at Shea. After nine scoreless innings by Kirby and ten by Koosman, the game was turned over to the bullpens for extra innings; the game ended after 11 innings when Bud Harrelson hit a single to drive in Cleon Jones. McGraw pitched the 11th inning to earn the win; this began an 11-game winning streak that brought them into second place, seven games behind the Chicago Cubs.

McGraw earned two saves during that stretch, 12 for the season. His record as a reliever was 8–2 with a 1.47 ERA. The Chicago Cubs had been in first place in the NL East for 156 days of the season, they seemed to win the division when they came to New York City to open a crucial two game series with the Mets on September 8; the Mets won both games to close within a half game of the Cubs. The following day, the Mets swept a double header from the Montreal Expos. Coupled with a Cubs loss, the Mets moved into first place for the first time during the 1969 season. On September 15, the St. Louis Cardinals' Steve Carlton struck out a record 19 Mets batters in a losing effort, as the Mets defeated the Cards 4–3 at Busch Stadium on a pair of two-run home runs by Ron Swoboda. McGraw pitched the final three innings without giving up a run to earn the win in this game. On September 24, facing Carlton and the Cardinals, again — only this time at Shea Stadium, the New York Mets clinched the NL East as Donn Clendenon hit two home runs in a 6–0 Mets victory.

The Mets won 39 of their last 50 games, finished the season with 100 wins against 62 losses, eight gam
