Place in the valley of Megiddo where there had been great mourning. It is quoted as an illustration of the great mourning there will be at Jerusalem when the sin of Judah is brought home to their conscience for having demanded the death of their Messiah (Zech. 12:11). The allusion is considered to be the occasion when Josiah was smitten in that same valley, though the histories do not speak of any mourning there (2 Kings 23:29; 2 Chron. 35:22-23). It is identified with Rummaneh, 32° 32' N, 35° 12' E.
