- Megiddo:
- Megiddo, called Μαγδολον, Magdolum, by Herodotus, was situated in the tribe of Manasseh, west of Jordan, in the valley of Jezreel, and not far fron Hadad-Rimmon, or Maximianopolis. This shews that Josiah reigned over the country formerly possessed by the ten tribes; and it is also probable, that Nechoh had landed his troops at or near Cesarea of Palestine. "But when Ahaziahª the kingª of Judahª sawª° [this], he fledª° by the wayª of the gardenª house.ª And Jehuª followedª° afterª him, and said,ª° Smiteª° him also¹ in¹ the chariot.ª [And they did so] at the going upª to Gur,ª which¹ [is] by¹ Ibleam.ª And he fledª° to Megiddo,ª and diedª° there.¹" {2Kg 9:27} + "And Manassehª had¹ in Issacharª and in Asherª Bethsheanª and her towns,ª and Ibleamª and her towns,ª and the inhabitantsª° of Dorª and her towns,ª and the inhabitantsª° of Endorª and her towns,ª and the inhabitantsª° of Taanachª and her towns,ª and the inhabitantsª° of Megiddoª and her towns,ª [even] threeª countries.ª" {Jsh 17:11} + "Neither¹ did Manassehª drive outª°¹ [the inhabitants of] Bethsheanª and her towns,ª nor Taanachª and her towns,ª nor the inhabitantsª° of Dorª and her towns,ª nor the inhabitantsª° of Ibleamª and her towns,ª nor the inhabitantsª° of Megiddoª and her towns:ª but the Canaanitesª wouldª° dwellª° in that¹ land.ª" {Jdg 1:27} + "The kingsª cameª° [and] fought,ª° then¹ foughtª° the kingsª of Canaanª in Taanachª by¹ the watersª of Megiddo;ª they tookª° no¹ gain²¹ of money.ª" {Jdg 5:19} + "Baanaª the sonª of Ahilud;ª [to him pertained] Taanachª and Megiddo,ª and all¹ Bethshean,ª which¹ [is] byª Zartanahª beneath¹¹ Jezreel,ª from Bethsheanª¹ to¹ Abelmeholah,ª [even] unto¹ [the place that is] beyondª¹ Jokneam:ª" {1Kg 4:12} + "In that¹ dayª shall there be a greatª° mourningª in Jerusalem,ª as the mourningª of Hadadrimmonª in the valleyª of Megiddon.ª" {Zch 12:11}, Megiddon, "Andª he gathered²° them² togetherª°¹ intoª a placeª calledª° in the Hebrew tongueª Armageddon.ª" {Rev 16:16}, Armageddon
