Ashteroth of the two horns, the abode of the Rephaim (Ge 14:5). It may be identified with Ashtaroth preceding; called "Karnaim", i.e., the "two-horned" (the crescent moon). The Samaritan version renders the word by "Sunamein," the present es-Sunamein, 28 miles south of Damascus.

Ash'teroth Karna'im

Ash'teroth Karna'im

(Ashteroth of the two horns or peaks) a place of very great antiquity, the abode of the Rephaim.

The name reappears but once, as Carnaim or Carnion, 1 Macc. 5:26,43,44; 2 Macc. 12:21,26, in "the land of Galaad." It is probably the modern Es-Sanamein, on the Haj route, about 25 miles south of Damascus.
