(Even the city will be named Hamonah.) And so they will cleanse the land.
God speaks of this victory as already done, though the fulfillment lies ahead, because it is as certain as if accomplished. The routed army leaves behind such mountains of weapons that Israel will burn them for fuel seven years instead of cutting wood from the forests, turning the instruments of war into the ordinary means of warming their homes.

Commenting on Ezekiel 39:8-22
A city near the burial place will be called Hamonah, the multitude, to keep the memory of this slaughter alive. Yet no city in Israel has ever borne that name, which proves this prophecy looks to a time still future, not to Antiochus or any age already past.
AI summary
A city in the neighborhood 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.
