a place spoken of in the Revelation (xvi. 16.), which literally signifies the mountain of Mageddon or Megiddo, a city situated in the great plain at the foot of Mount Carmel, where King Josiah received his mortal wound in the battle against Necho king of Egypt. At Armageddon, the three unclean spirits, coming out of the dragon's mouth, shall gather together the kings of the earth to the battle of the great day of God Almighty (Rev. xvi. 13, 14.) The word armageddon, according to Mr Poole, does not signify any particular place, but is here an allusion, as some think, to that of Megiddo, mentioned Judges v. 19, where Barak overcame Sifera with his great army, and where Josiah was slain (2 Kings xxiii. 30.) Others translate this word, the mountain of the gospel, and others, the mountain of apples or fruits.
