Camon

What Bible dictionaries say about “Camon”, one article after the other.

Easton’s Bible Dictionary & Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

Camon - (Easton's Bible Dictionary)

Full of stalks, a place (Judg. 10:5) where Jair was buried. It has usually been supposed to have been a city of Gilead, on the east of Jordan. It is probably, however, the modern Tell-el-Kaimun, on the southern slopes of Carmel, the Jokneam of Carmel (Josh. 12:22; 1 Kings 4:12), since it is not at all unlikely that after he became judge, Jair might find it more convenient to live on the west side of Jordan; and that he was buried where he had lived.
