Kamon or Camon (in Hebrew: קָמוֹן, in Ancient Greek: Καμων, transliterated as Kamôn) is a place mentioned in the Bible.
While only one Hebrew name is given in the Masoretic text,[1] both Καμων (Kamôn) and Ραμμω (Rhammô) are found in the Septuagint manuscripts.
[2][3] In the 19th century, Easton believed it was probably located on the slopes of Mount Carmel.
[4] One possible etymology of the term could come from קָמָה (Qamāh), which means "to rise", possibly indicating that it was a fortified place situated on high ground.
[3] A place named Καμους (Kamous) was mentioned by Polybius and was conquered by Antiochus III.
