HARMON*

Place mentioned by the prophet Amos to which the inhabitants of Bashan would be exiled (Am 4:3, NLT mg). Harmon occurs only once in the Bible, and there is no known place with such a name. There are problems with the text and numerous emendations have been proposed. Some Hebrew manuscripts render it as a common noun, meaning “palace” (KJB), rather than a proper name. The Septuagint renders it “the mountain of Rimmon,” perhaps referring to a hill east of Rimmon (see Jgs 20:45-47; cf. Jos 15:32; 19:13).
