Carnaim
Carnaim
(v v. r. , Vulg. Carnam), a large and fortified city in the country east of Jordan “the land of Galaad” containing a “temple” ( K.). It was besieged and taken by Judas Maccableus (1Ma 5:26; 1Ma 5:43-44). Under the name of CARNION ( ) the same occurrence is related in 2Ma 12:21; 2Ma 12:26, the temple being called the ATARGATEION ( ). This enables us to identify it with ASHTEROTH-KARNAIM SEE ASHTEROTH-KARNAIM (q.v.).

Carnaim
kar-naim, karna-im (, Karnen, 1 Macc 5:26, , Karnan, verses 43 f, , to Karnion, 2 Macc 12:21, 26): One of the strong cities besieged and captured by Judas Maccabeus in his campaign East of the Jordan (1 Macc 5:26, 43 f). In the temple of Atargatis, which was situated here, those who fled from the city were put to death. It is apparently identical with Ashteroth Karnaim. It is called Camion in 2 Macc 12:21.
