And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
The name of the city shall be Hamonah. A city in the neighbourhood was to receive the name Hamonah (multitude), to commemorate the overthrow of the multitudes of the foe (Henderson). The multitude of the slain shall give a name to the city of Jerusalem, after the land shall have been cleansed (Grotius). Jerusalem shall be famed as the conqueror of multitudes.
