When Jair died
The phrase marks the end of Jair's leadership, a significant transition in the narrative of the Judges. Jair, whose name means "he enlightens," served as a judge over Israel for twenty-two years. His death signifies the conclusion of a period of relative stability and peace. In the Hebrew context, the death of a judge often foreshadows a time of turmoil or apostasy for Israel, as the cycle of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance continues. Jair's leadership, like that of other judges, was a divine appointment, and his death reminds us of the transient nature of human leadership and the enduring sovereignty of God.

he was buried
Burial practices in ancient Israel were significant, reflecting honor and respect for the deceased. The act of burial is a testament to the community's recognition of Jair's role and contributions. In the Hebrew tradition, burial in one's homeland was considered a blessing, and it was a way to maintain a connection with the land promised by God. This phrase underscores the importance of legacy and the hope of resurrection, a theme that resonates throughout Scripture, pointing to the ultimate resurrection through Christ.

in Kamon
Kamon is mentioned only here in the Bible, and its exact location remains uncertain. However, its inclusion in the text highlights the importance of place in biblical narratives. Kamon, possibly located in the region of Gilead, suggests a connection to the Transjordan area, which was part of the inheritance of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. This geographical detail situates Jair within the broader context of Israel's tribal confederation and God's covenant promises concerning the land. The mention of Kamon serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness in providing for His people and the importance of remembering the places where God's leaders have served.

(5) In Camon.--There seems to have been a Kamon six miles from Megiddo (Euseb. Jer.), but it is far more probable that this town was in Gilead, as Josephus says (Antt. v. 6, ? 6), and there is a Kamon mentioned as near Pella by Polybius (Hist. v. 70, ? 12).

Verse 5. - Jair... was buried in Careen. A city of Gilead according to Josephus, and probability. Polybius mentions a Camoun among other trans-Jordanic places, but its site has not been verified by modern research. Eusebius and Jerome place it in the plain of Esdraelon, but without probability. The careful mention of the place of sepulture of the judges and kings is remarkable, beginning with Gideon (Judges 8:32; Judges 10:2, 5; Judges 12:9, 10, 12, 15; Judges 16:31; 1 Samuel 31:12; 2 Samuel 2:10, etc.).
