Zechariah 12:11

Hadadrimmon. A compound of two names for the same Semitic god, Hadad and Rimmon. The significance of the term is not clear. Some think Hadadrimmon was a place in the valley near Megiddo and that the reference is to the death of Josiah, who received mortal wounds when he attacked Necho, king of Egypt, in the valley of Megiddo. The death of the king resulted in special mourning (2 Chron. 35:20-25). Various attempts have been made to identify the place, but without success. Others think that “the mourning of Hadadrimmon” refers to some pagan rite. The fact that the composite name Hadadrimmon is made up of two names of a pagan deity may lend some support to the latter view.
