It was besieged and taken by Judas Maccableus ( 1 Maccabees 5:26; 1 Maccabees 5:43-44). Under the name of CARNION ( Τὸ Καρνίον ) the same occurrence is related in 2 Maccabees 12:21; 2 Maccabees 12:26, the temple being called the ATARGATEION ( Τὸ Ἀταργατεῖον ) . This enables us to identify it with ASHTEROTH-KARNAIM (See Ashteroth-Karnaim) (q.v.).
