HADADRIMMON hā’ dăd rĭm’ ən (הֲדַדְרִמֹּ֖ון, hadad rimmon, Hadad and Rimmon, two Syrian divinities). Zechariah 12:11 says, “On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning for Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo.” The KJV and ASV have “mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.” It was formerly supposed to be a placename, and Jerome actually identified it with Maximianopolis, a village near Jezreel; but most exegetes now understand the words to mean “the mourning for Hadadrimmon.” Hadadrimmon was a vegetation god, whose name is a combination of the names of the W Sem. storm god, Hadad, and the Akkad. storm god, Rimmon. The Ras Shamra texts show Hadad to be the proper name of Baal.
