Ashteroth Karnaim
Ashteroth Karnaim was a city in the land of Bashan, east of the Jordan River, mentioned in and (where it is rendered simply as "Ashteroth"). The name translates literally to 'Ashteroth of the Horns', with 'Ashteroth' being a Canaanite fertility goddess, and 'horns' being symbolic of mountain peaks. It is possibly the same as Carnaim in First Maccabees and Carnion in Second Maccabees.
