TOGARMAH . The third son of Gomer, his brothers being Ashkenaz and Riphath ( Genesis 10:3 ). In Ezekiel mention is made of ‘the house of Togarmah,’ the members of which traded for the wares of Tyre with horses and mules. Fried. Delitzsch suggests that Togarmah is the Til-garimmu of the Assyrian inscriptions, described by Sargon of Assyria as the capital of Melitene, which he captured and re-colonized. Sennacherib, who again captured Til-garimmu and destroyed it, speaks of it as being on the borders of Tabal (Tubal [see Meshech]). The difference in the first element ( tô = til ) makes a slight difficulty. Kiepert and Dillmann regard Togarmah as being S.W. Armenia.
