<p> ''''' ha ''''' - ''''' dad ''''' - ''''' rim´on ''''' , ''''' had ''''' - ''''' ad ''''' - ''''' rim´on ''''' ( הדד רמון , <i> ''''' hădhadh rimmōn ''''' </i> ): A name which occurs, along with Megiddon, in &nbsp; Zechariah 12:11 . It was long thought that this was a place in the plain of Megiddo, and that the mourning referred to was that for Josiah, slain in battle with Pharaoh-necoh (&nbsp;2 Kings 23:29 ). This last, however, was certainly at Jerusalem. [[Jerome]] ( <i> Comm. on Zec </i> ) identifies Hadadrimmon with Maximianopolis, a village near Jezreel, probably Legio, the ancient Megiddo. Possibly, however, the form "Hadadrimmon" has arisen through the combination of two divine names; and the weeping may be that for Tammuz (&nbsp;Ezekiel 8:14 ), with whom the old Semitic deity had become confused in the popular mind. </p>
