Rimmon 2:
a deity worshipped by the Syrians of Damascus, where there was a temple or house of Rimmon (2 Kings 5:18). Rimmon is perhaps the abbreviated form of Hadad‐rimmon, Hadad being the sun‐god of the Syrians. Combining this with the pomegranate which was his symbol, Hadad‐rimmon would then he the sun‐god of the late summer, who ripens the pomegranate and other fruits.
