Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition
 חֶרְמוֺן proper name, of a mountain Hermon ( sacred mountain, compare Sabean מחרם, etc., temple, Arabic interior of mosque, asylum, Wetzst ZKW see 1884,115 RS Semitic i, 93; 2nd ed., 94) — the highest peak of Anti-Lebanon range, usually snow-capped, commanding southern Syria & northern Palestine; it is called שִׂיאֹן by the author of Deuteronomy 4:48; by the Amorites שְׂנִיר, by the Sidonians שִׂרְיֹן Deuteronomy 3:9. It has three peaks; and the names חרמון and שׂניר, distinguished in 1 Chronicles 5:23; Song of Solomon 4:8, may refer to two of these peaks; חֶרְמוֺנִים Psalm 42:7 probably refers to these different peaks (see Rob BR iii. 357 Bäd Pal 301). It is a northern boundary ׳עד הר ח Deuteronomy 3:8; Joshua 12:1; הר חרמוֺן mount Hermon is used also Joshua 11:17; Joshua 12:5; Joshua 13:5,11; 1 Chronicles 5:23; but חרמון Joshua 11:3; Psalm 89:13; Psalm 133:3; Song of Solomon 4:8. see בַּעַל חֶרְמוֺן Judges 3:3; 1 Chronicles 5:23 (see Wetzst ib. 115).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

חֶרְמוֹן (i.q. خَرْمُ, خُرْمُ prominent summit of a mountain; properly it seems the nose of a mountain; compare أَنْفُ), Hermon, a spur of Antilibanus, Joshua 11:3, 17 Joshua 11:17; Psalms 89:13, 133:3 near the spring of the Jordan; now called Jebel esh-Sheikh (ااشيخ جبل) and towards the south Jebel el-Heish; it consists of several mountains, and is therefore spoken of in the pl. חֶרְמֹנִים Psalms 42:7. We learn from Deuteronomy 3:9, 4:48, that these mountains were called by the Amorites שְׂנִיר, by the Sidonians שִׁרְיוֹן; and they were also sometimes called שִׂיאֹן; but 1 Chronicles 5:23, Senir and Sirion are distinguished from one another. The names applied to the mountains of this region appear sometimes to have been used in a wider, sometimes in a narrower, sense.
