What do we learn from "v'Gam Sham Ir Hamonah"?

1.

Rashi: Also the city called "Ir Homiyah" (Yeshayah 22:2) due to its many people ? it is the great city, also it will bury its most valorous residents. There is no Mapik (Dagesh, i.e. dot in the) Hei because its name is Hamonah, like Homiyah.

2.

Radak, Malbim: Just like the canyon is called Hamon Gog, so the city near the canyon or the city Yerushalayim will be called Hamonah due to Hamon Gog killed near it. Malbim ? this is to recall the miracle, and so people will guard from the Tum'ah of this city, like [the law of] a residence of Goyim. Via this, "v'Tiharu ha'Aretz."

3.

Radak citing Targum Yonasan: Also there will fall the killed of the city Romi, that its clamor is great, and the land will be purified.
