Camon
Camon
(Hebrews Kamon’, , perhaps full of stalks or grain; Sept. v. r. ), the place in which Jair (q.v.) the Judge was buried (Jdg 10:5). As the scriptural notices of him all refer to the country east of Jordan, there is no reason against accepting the statement of Josephus (Ant. v. 7, 6) that Camon () was a city of Gilead. In support of this is the mention by Polybius (v. 70, 12) of a Crmus (, for ) in company with Pella and other trans-Jordanic places taken by Antiochus (Reland, Palcest. p. 679; Ritter, Erdk. 15:1026). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. , Camon) evidently confound it with the Cyamon (Jdt 7:3) in the plain of Esdraelon; and this has misled Schwarz (Palest. p. 233). It is possibly the modern Reimun (comp. the Sept. reading Rhamon), four and a half miles west-north-west of Jerash or Gerasa (Van de Velde’s Map).

Camon
full of stalks, a place (Judg. 10:5) where Jair was buried. It has usually been supposed to have been a city of Gilead, on the east of Jordan. It is probably, however, the modern Tell-el-Kaimun, on the southern slopes of Carmel, the Jokneam of Carmel (Josh. 12:22; 1 Kings 4:12), since it is not at all unlikely that after he became judge, Jair might find it more convenient to live on the west side of Jordan; and that he was buried where he had lived.
