        <p> '''''kar''''' -'''''nā´im''''' , '''''kar´nā̇''''' -'''''im''''' ( Καρνείν , <i> '''''Karneı́n''''' </i> , 1 Macc 5:26, Καρναίν , <i> '''''Karnaı́n''''' </i> , verses 43 f, τὸ Κάρνιον , <i> '''''tó Kárnion''''' </i> , 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. </p>

        <p> ( Καρναϊ v ν v. r. Καρνείν, Vulg. Carna ï m), a large and fortified city in the country east of [[Jordan]] — "the land of Galaad" — containing a "temple" ( τὸ τέμενος ἐν K.). 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.). </p>
