Difference between revisions of "Cyamon"

<p> ( '''''Κυαμών''''' ; Vulgate, ''Chelmon'' ), a place named only in &nbsp;Judith 7:3, as lying in the plain ( '''''Αὐλών''''' , A. V. "valley") over against ( '''''Ἀπέναντι''''' ) Esdrelom. If by "Esdrelom" we may understand Jezreel, this description answers to the situation of the modern village Tell Kaimon, on the eastern slopes of Carmel, on a conspicuous position overlooking the [[Kishon]] and the great plain (Robinson, Later Res. p. 114; [[Van]] de Velde, Narrative, 1:330). The place was known to [[Eusebius]] ( '''''Καμμωνά''''' ) and [[Jerome]] ( ''Cimana'' ), and is mentioned by them in the ''Onomasticon'' (s.v. Camon, '''''Καμών''''' ), where they identify it with [[Camon]] the burial-place of [[Jair]] the [[Gileadite]] (&nbsp;Judges 10:5). '''''—''''' Smith, s.v. Schultz assumes Cyamon to be identical with the modern Kumieh, south-east of Little Hermon (Zeitschr. d. morg. Ges. 3, 48); but Dr. Robinson (ut sup. p. 339) thinks this inconsistent with the true position (according to his location) of [[Bethulia]] (q.v.), and suggests that "Cyamon" may be only the Greek rendering ( '''''Κύαμος''''' ) of the Hebrews name ( '''''פּוֹל''''' , ''Pol'' , a bean) corresponding to the present ''Fuleh'' , on the east side of the plain of Esdraelon, a trace of which appears in the notices of the Crusaders (Wilken, ''Gesch. Der Kreuzz'' . 3, 2:231, 267). But (See Jokneam). </p>

<p> ''''' sı̄´a ''''' - ''''' mon ''''' ( Κυαμών , <i> ''''' Kuamō̇n ''''' </i> , [[Judith]] 7:3): Probably identical with Jokneam (which see). </p>
