Context: Ashteroth-Karnaim is an ancient city located in the region of Bashan, east of the Jordan River. The name is associated with the Canaanite goddess Ashtoreth, often depicted with horns, which may explain the "Karnaim" or "horns" in the name. This city is notably mentioned in Genesis 14:5, where it is recorded as the site of a battle involving Chedorlaomer and his allies against the Rephaim.
