Haydock's commentary
Amona. Hebrew hamon, (Haydock) means "a multitude." (Calmet)
Septuagint, "a place for many graves:" poluandrion. (Haydock)
So many would be buried there, that the place might justly receive such a name; though we find no such city in the neighbourhood. (Calmet)
Rabbath, of Ammon, was sometimes so called. (Haydock)
