  name 
  of 
  the 
  deity 
  as

  title. 
  (Compare 
  Genesis 
  xxxvi, 
  35;

  Sam- 
  

   uel

  In 
  Zachariah

  is 
  mentioned 
  a 
  place 
  in 
  the 
  valley 
  

   of 
  Megiddo 
  named 
  after 
  the 
  two 
  Syrian 
  divinities 
  " 
  Hadad-Rimmon." 
  

  

  The 
  inscription 
  contains 
  34 
  lines. 
  The 
  characters 
  are 
  in 
  relief 
  

   and 
  in 
  form 
  most 
  nearly 
  resemble 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  Moabite 
  stone. 
  The 
  

   first 
  part 
  (lines 
  1 
  to 
  15) 
  contains 
  the 
  dedication 
  of 
  Panammu 
  to 
  

   the 
  gods 
  to 
  whom 
  the 
  monument 
  was 
  erected, 
  who 
  conferred 
  on 
  him 
  

   the 
  government 
  of 
  Ja'di 
  and 
  granted 
  plenty 
  to 
  the 
  land. 
  The 
  second 
  

   part 
  (lines 
  15 
  to 
  24) 
  relates 
  the 
  injunction 
  of 
  Kami 
  to 
  his 
  son 
  

   Panammu 
  that 
  he 
  erect 
  a 
  statue 
  to 
  Hadad 
  and 
  honor 
  him 
  with 
  

   sacrifices. 
  The 
  third 
  part 
  (lines 
  24 
  to 
  34) 
  containes 
  the 
  usual 
  curses 
  

   against 
  those 
  who 
  would 
  destroy, 
  deface, 
  or 
  carry 
  off 
  the 
  monu- 
  

   ment 
  (pi. 
  24).
