in/at Ashteroth-Karnaim (a place name east of the Jordan)
A compound place name appearing in Genesis 14:5 during the narrative of the eastern kings' campaign. The name combines Ashteroth (connected to worship of the goddess Ashtart) with Karnaim ('two horns'), possibly referring to a twin-peaked mountain or a cult symbol. The site was located in Bashan, east of the Sea of Galilee, and may correspond to Tell Ashtara or Muzeirib in modern Jordan.
