הַר mountain, and מְגִדּוֹ or מְגִדּוֹן. Sept. Μαγεδώ, Μαγεδδώ. Megiddo was a city of the Manassites, situated in the great plain of the tribe of Issachar, and famous for a double slaughter, first of the Canaanites (Judg. v. 19), and again of the Israelites (2 K. xxiii. 29 sq.; 2 Chr. xxxv. 22, cf. Zech. xii. 11); so that in the Apocalypse it would signify the place where the kings opposing Christ were to be destroyed with a slaughter like that which the Canaanites or the Israelites had experienced of old. But since those two overthrows are said to have taken place ἐπὶ ὕδατι Μαγ. (Judg. l. c.) and ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ Μαγ. (2 Chr. l. c.), it is not easy to perceive what can be the meaning of the mountain of Megiddo, which could be none other than Carmel. Hence, for one, I think the conjecture of L. Capellus [i. e. Louis Cappel (akin to that of Drusius, see the Comm.)] to be far more easy and probable, viz. that Ἁρμαγεδών is for Ἁρμαμεγεδών, compounded of חרמא destruction, and מגדון. [Wieseler (Zur Gesch. d. N. T. Schrift, p. 188), Hitzig (in Hilgenf. Einl. p. 440 n.), al., revive the derivation (cf. Hiller, Simonis, al.) fr. עָר מְ״ city of Megiddo.]*
