kā´mon (קמון, ḳāmōn; the King James Version Camon):

The place where Jair was buffed (Judges 10:3-5). It is possibly represented either by Ḳamm or Ḳumeim, ruins which lie about 6 and 7 miles respectively to the South-Southeast of Umm Ḳeis. See further Havvoth-Jair. The ruins of Ḳamm, about 200 yds. square, crown a small elevation, and point to an important place in the past. There are large rock-hewn cisterns to the South. Among the ruins of Ḳumein, which are not considerable, a few mud huts are built, occupied today by about 200 souls (Schumacher, Northern 'Ajlûn, 137).
