<p> (Καρναϊ v ν v. r. Καρνείν, Vulg. ''Carnaï | <p> (Καρναϊ v ν v. r. Καρνείν, Vulg. ''Carnaï 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> | ||
