Hadad-rimmon (הֲדַדְ־רִמּוֹן, hadad-rimmon). Name of either a deity or a place; appears only in Zech 12:11.

There are two primary options for interpreting Hadad-rimmon: as a deity or as a place in the valley/plain of Megiddo. The genitive construction in Zech 12:11 is unclear; it could describe mourning either for or at Hadad-Rimmon. A number of English translations use the preposition “for” (CEV, ESV, LEB, NJB, NLT [second edition], NRSV, RSV, TEV), which indicates that Hadad-rimmon is a deity or person being mourned. Other translations use “at” (NET, NKJV), referring to Hadad-rimmon as the place of mourning. Other versions use “of” (CEB, KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV [1984, 2011], NLT [first edition]), which leaves the meaning ambiguous.
