Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Judges 10:5
And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
5. Kamon ] Probably E. of Jordan, and perhaps identical with the Kamn mentioned by Polybius next after Pella as taken by Antiochus the Great (10:70, 12). Buhl thinks of umm, W. of Irbid ( Geogr., p. 256).

And Jair died, and was buried in Camon. A city of Gilead, as Josephus u calls it; Jerom w, under this word Camon, makes mention of a village in his times, called Cimana, in the large plain six miles from Legion to the north, as you go to Ptolemais; but, as Reland x observes, this seems not to be the same place, but rather this is the Camon Polybius y speaks of among other cities of Peraea, taken by Antiochus.

(5) In Camon.There seems to have been a Kamon six miles from Megiddo (Euseb. Jer.), but it is far more probable that this town was in Gilead, as Josephus says (Antt. v. 6, 6), and there is a Kamon mentioned as near Pella by Polybius (Hist. v. 70, 12).

5. Camon This was, probably, one of the thirty cities mentioned above, but its exact situation is now unknown. Possibly it is represented by the modern Reimun, a few miles northwest of Jerash. Though little is said of Tola and Jair’s life, the fact of their death and the place of their burial are carefully noted.
