16:16 αρμαγεδων ¦ μαγεδων K BYZ HF ¦ αρμαγεδδων TR
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
16:16 The name Armageddon (or Harmagedon) is probably derived from Hebrew har (“mountain,” “hill”) plus Megiddo, which was one of the three cities fortified by Solomon along with Gezer in the south and Hazor in the north (1 Kgs 9:15). The fortress of Megiddo stood on a hill in the largest pass through the Carmel range, strategically guarding the Jezreel Valley. The city was situated on the Via Maris, the main highway between Egypt and Mesopotamia. Many armies used this route, and the site became known as a bloody battlefield. It was here, for instance, that Pharaoh Neco, on his way to fight the Assyrians, killed Josiah (2 Kgs 23:29). Armageddon thus became a symbolic term epitomizing the final conflict between God and the forces of evil.
