John Gill Commentary Judges 10:5

"And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon." — Judges 10:5 (ASV)

And Jair died, and was buried in Camon .
A city of Gilead, as Josephus ^F21 calls it; Jerom ^F23 , under this word Camon, makes mention of a village in his times, called Cimana, in the large plain six miles from Legion to the north, as you go to Ptolemais; but, as Reland ^F24 observes, this seems not to be the same place, but rather this is the Camon Polybius ^F25 speaks of among other cities of Peraea, taken by Antiochus.
