Who or what is this?

A symbolic city name appearing only in 39:16, within the vision of the defeat and burial of Gog and his armies. After the great slaughter, the text describes a valley called Hamon-gog ("multitude of Gog") where the dead will be buried, and then states that a town called Hamonah will be there as a memorial of the event. The name means "multitude" in , and the entire passage is understood as prophetic imagery of a massive divine judgment rather than a reference to a literal existing city.
