ASHTEROTH-KARNAIM . The scene of Chedorlaomer’s defeat of the Rephaim ( Genesis 14:5 ). It is perhaps mentioned in Amos 6:13 (EV [Note: English Version.] ‘Have we not taken to us horns ( Karnaim ) by our own strength?’). It is identical with Carnion or Carnain , after whose capture, in b.c. 164, Judas Maccabæus destroyed the temple of Atargatis (wh. see), whither the inhabitants had fled for refuge ( 2Ma 12:21 f., cf. 1Ma 5:43 f.). For interpretation of name see Ashtoreth, and for location, Ashtaroth.
