Camon: Full of stalks, a place
(Judges 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
(Joshua 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.
