GOMER. 1. One of the sons of Japheth and the father of Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah ( Genesis 10:2 f., 1 Chronicles 1:5 f.), who along with Togarmah is included by Ezekiel in the army of Gog ( Ezekiel 38:6 ). Gomer represents the people termed Gimirrâ by the Assyrians, and Cimmerians by the Greeks. Their original home appears to have been north of the Euxine, but by the 7th cent. b.c. they had completely conquered Cappadocia and settled there.

2. Daughter of Diblaim, wife of the prophet Hosea (wh. see).

L. W. King.
