From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Hadad-rimmon
     (composed of the names of two Syrian idols), the name of a place
     in the valley of Megiddo. It is alluded to by the prophet
     Zechariah (12:11) in a proverbial expression derived from the
     lamentation for Josiah, who was mortally wounded near this place
     (2 Chr. 35:22-25). It has been identified with the modern


     Rummaneh, a village "at the foot of the Megiddo hills, in a
     notch or valley about an hour and a half south of Tell
     Metzellim."
