KAMON

(Heb. qāmôn)

The burial place of Jair the Gileadite, a minor judge of Israel (Judg. 10:5). Polybius (Hist. 5.70.12) refers to Kamoun which Antiochus conquered after Pella, Abila, Gadara, and other places in Gilead while battling Ptolemy Philopator. Kamon has been associated with Hanzir (207206), N of the Jabbok and 8 km. (5 mi.) E of Pella, where Iron I and Hellenistic sherds have been found. Krak-Canatha, between Derala and Souweida, and Qamm (218221), 20 km. (13 mi.) SE of the Sea of Galilee, have also been suggested.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
