(Hebrews Kamon', קָמוֹן , perhaps Full Of Stalks or grain; Sept. Καμών v. r. ῾Ραμνών ) , the place in which Jair (q.v.) the Judge was buried ( Judges 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 ( Καμῶν ) was a city of Gilead. In support of this is the mention by Polybius (v. 70, 12) of a Crmus ( Καμοῦς , for Καμοῦν ) 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. Καμών , Camon) evidently confound it with the Cyamon ( Judith 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).
