Kamon

Kamon, a city in Gilead where Jair, a judge of Israel, was buried (Judges 10:5).

Kamon is a city mentioned in the Bible as the burial place of Jair, who judged Israel for twenty-two years (Judges 10:3-5). The city was located in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River, but its exact location is uncertain. Some scholars propose that Kamon may be identified with the ruins of Qamm, southeast of the Sea of Galilee, or Qumeim, east-northeast of Irbid in modern-day Jordan.

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.
