Where is Hadad-rimmon in the Bible?
Hadad-rimmon was a place located near Megiddo in the valley of Jezreel in ancient Palestine, in what is now central Israel. This location is mentioned in the Book of Zechariah as the site of a great lamentation held for King Josiah of Judah, who was mortally wounded at the nearby city of Megiddo during a battle with Egyptian forces around 609 BCE. The prophet Zechariah references this mourning to illustrate the future weeping that would occur when God's people recognize Jesus as the one they have pierced, making Hadad-rimmon significant as a biblical type or foreshadowing of messianic suffering and repentance.
