(Καρναϊ v ν v. r. Καρνείν, Vulg. Carnaï m), a large and fortified city in the country east of Jordan — "the land of Galaad" — containing a "temple" (τὸ τέμενος ἐν K.). It was besieged and taken by Judas Maccableus (1 Maccabees 5:26; 1 Maccabees 5:43-44). Under the name of CARNION (τὸ Καρνίον ) the same occurrence is related in 2 Maccabees 12:21; 2 Maccabees 12:26, the temple being called the ATARGATEION (τὸ Ἀταργατεῖον ). This enables us to identify it with ASHTEROTH-KARNAIM (See ASHTEROTH-KARNAIM) (q.v.).
