When Jair died
Jair was one of the judges of Israel, a leader who arose after the time of Abimelech. His leadership is noted in the context of the cyclical pattern of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance that characterizes the Book of Judges. Jair's death marks the end of a period of relative peace and stability for Israel. His judgeship lasted 22 years, indicating a significant time of leadership. The death of a judge often signaled a transition and potential instability, as seen throughout Judges.

he was buried
Burial practices in ancient Israel were significant, reflecting honor and respect for the deceased. Being buried in one's own land or city was a mark of dignity. The mention of Jair's burial suggests he was a respected leader. In biblical times, burial sites were often family tombs or caves, indicating a connection to one's heritage and lineage.

in Kamon
Kamon is not frequently mentioned in the Bible, and its exact location is uncertain, though it is believed to be in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. This area was part of the territory allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh. The mention of Kamon highlights the geographical context of Jair's leadership, emphasizing the tribal and regional divisions within Israel during the time of the judges. The location also underscores the decentralized nature of Israelite society before the establishment of the monarchy.

Teaching Points
Legacy and Influence
Jair's leadership and the mention of his sons and towns highlight the importance of leaving a godly legacy. Consider how your actions and decisions today can impact future generations.

Faithfulness in Leadership
Jair's tenure as a judge reflects a period of stability. Reflect on how faithfulness in your responsibilities can bring peace and stability to those around you.

The Significance of Burial Places
Kamon, as Jair's burial site, signifies the end of an era. It reminds us of the importance of remembering those who have gone before us and learning from their lives.

The Role of Judges in Israel
The judges were raised by God to deliver Israel from oppression. This points to God's sovereignty and His provision of leaders according to His purpose.

The Transience of Life
Jair's death and burial remind us of the brevity of life. It encourages us to live purposefully and in alignment with God's will.(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.).
