Megiddo Photos

Biblical References: Megiddo is probably best known to us as Armageddon (from the Hebrew Har Megiddo) site of the last great battle in Revelation 16.16. Megiddo is listed in Joshua 17.11 in the allocation of settlements to Manasseh with the statment that Manasseh did not drive out the Canaanites but subjected them to forced labour (cf Judges 1.27-28). Megiddo is listed in one of Solomon's administrative districts (1 Kings 4.12). He selected it as one of his main fortified cities outside Jerusalem, in which he had accommodation for chariots and horses (9.15-19). Ahaziah of Judah died at Megiddo (2 Kings 9.27). So did Josiah (23.29-30).
