EXPLANATION

Verse 11. Adadremmon. A place near Mageddon, where the good king Josias was slain, and much lamented by his people. Challoner.—It was not far from Jezrahel. 2 Chronicles 35. The lamentation for Josias represents that of impenitent sinners at the day of judgment. Saint Jerome Worthington.—Septuagint translate the proper names, “of the pomegranate which is cut down in the field.” Bible.—All from verse 8 may be explained of Judas.
