[742] Psalm xx. 6, xviii. 29-50.
[743] Lev. xxvi. 36.
[744] 2 Chron. xxxv. 22: "hearkened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of God."
[745] "When he had seen him." Comp. 2 Kings xiv. 8.
[746] 1 Esdras i. 25; and LXX., "firmly resolved," "strengthened himself," as in 2 Chron. xxv. 11.
[747] Jos., Antt., X. v. 1; and 2 Chron. xxxv. 23; 1 Esdras i. 30.
[748] The fortunes of the Jews again prevailed in this plain in the days of Holofernes (Judith vii. 3); but they were defeated there by Placidus (Jos., B. J., IV. i. 8).
[749] Zech. xii. 11-13 (comp. Jer. xxii. 10, 18). No such place as Hadadrimmon is known, though there is a Rummâne not far from Megiddo. Jerome (Comm. in Zach.) identifies it with a place which he calls Maximianopolis. Wellhausen (Skizzen, 192) thinks that the mourning is compared to some wail over the god Hadadrimmon, like the wailing for Tammuz. Jonathan and Jarchi say that Hadadrimmon was the son of Tabrimmon, who opposed Ahab at Ramoth-Gilead.
[750] 2 Chron. xxxv. 24, 25. Jeremiah's elegy has probably perished. It would have been most interesting had it been preserved. Lam. iv. is too vague to have been this lost poem.
[751] Jer. iv. 10.
