Ezekiel 39:16

And the name of the city shall be Amona, and they shall cleanse the land.

Amona. Hebrew hamon, (Haydock) means "a multitude." (Calmet) --- Septuagint, "a place for many graves:" poluandrion. (Haydock) --- So many would be buried there, that the place might justly receive such a name; though we find no such city in the neighbourhood. (Calmet) --- Rabbath, of Ammon, was sometimes so called. (Haydock)
