Who this is
A city in Bashan, east of the Jordan, home to a branch of the Rephaim who were defeated by the coalition of eastern kings under Chedorlaomer in Genesis 14:5. The compound name, "Ashtoreth of the two horns," ties the town to the worship of the goddess Ashtoreth (Astarte), likely under a horned or crescent-moon symbol. It is generally identified with Tell Ashtarah in the Golan region of modern Syria.
