Carnaim kar-na'-im, kar'-na-im (Karnein, Macc 5:26, Karnain, verses 43 f, to Karnion, 2Macc 12:21,26): One of the strong cities besieged and captured by Judas Maccabeus in his campaign East of the Jordan (Macc 5:26,43 f). In the temple of Atargatis, which was situated here, those who fled from the city were put to death. It is apparently identical with Ashteroth Karnaim. It is called Camion in 2Macc 12:21.
