<p> '''Hadad-rimmon''' (''Hâ'Dad-Rĭm'Mon'' ). A place probably named from two Syrian idols, Hadad, the sun-god, and Rimmon. It was in the valley of Megiddo, Zechariah 12:11, and the scene of a great lamentation over the death of Josiah. 2 Kings 23:29; 2 Chronicles 35:20-25. </p> | <p> '''Hadad-rimmon''' ( ''Hâ'Dad-Rĭm'Mon'' ).

<p> (Heb. Hadad'-Rimmon', רַמּוֹן הֲדִד the names of two Syrian idols; Sept. | <p> (Heb. Hadad'-Rimmon', '''''רַמּוֹן''''' '''''הֲדִד''''' the names of two Syrian idols; Sept. '''''Κοπετάς''''' '''''Ροὼνος''''' ,Vulg. ''Adadremmon),'' the name of a place in the valley of Megiddo, alluded to in Zechariah 12:11 as a type of the future penitence of the Jews; probably by a proverbial expression from the lamentation for Josiah, who was mortally wounded not far from this spot ( 2 Chronicles 35:22-25). (There is a treatise by Wichmanshausen. ''De Planctu Hadadr.'' in the ''Nov. Thes. Theol. '''''—''''' Phil.'' 1, 1101; exegetical remarks on the same text have also been written in Dutch by Vermast [ Gonda, 1792, 1794], in German by Mauritii [Rost. 1764. 1772], and in Latin by Froriep [Erf. 1776].) According to Jerome ( ''Comment. On Zechariah 1'' . c. and ''Hosea 1'' ), it was afterwards called ''Maximliunoopolis'' (see Reland. ''Palcest.'' p. 891), which, according to the ''Jerus. Itin.,'' lay 17 Rom. miles from AEesatea, and 10 from Esdraelon; being situated, according to Dr. Robinson (new ed. of Researches, 3, 118), a little south of [[Megiddo]] (now Lejjun) (see Bibliotheca Sacra, 1844, p. 220). The name has been thought to be derived from the worship of the idol Hadad-rimmon (Hitzig on Isaiah 17, 9; Movers, Phin. p. 297); but, according to the [[Targum]] of [[Jonathan]] (followed by Jarchi), it is an ellipsis for Hadad, son of Tab-rimmon, the alleged opponent of [[Ahab]] at Ramoth-Gilead. As it contains the names of two principal Syrian deities, it may have been an old Syrian stronghold, and hence [[Josiah]] may here have made his last stand in defense of the plain of Esdraeloa. '''''‘''''' Such a site, therefore, does not ill agree with the position of the modern Runlaneh, a village "at the foot of the Megiddo hills, in a notch or valley about 1 hour S. of tell Metzellim" (Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 333; comp. Narrative, 1, 355; De Saulcy, [[Dead]] Sea, 2, 311). Schwarz's attempt (Palest. p. 159) to identify [[Hadad-Rimmon]] with [[Gath-Rimmon]] of Joshua 21:25, as the Kefar Uthni of the [[Talmud]] [[''(G '''''Ö''''']] Tting,'' fol. 76, a), and a present Kafer Guth, said by him to be located about 24 miles from Lejjun, beyond Sepphoris, is without foundation. </p> | ||
