    Description

    Ashteroth-karnaim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Ashteroth-karnaim, also called Karnaim, was an ancient city located east of the Jordan River in the region of Bashan. It is first mentioned in the Bible as one of the cities defeated by Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and his allies during the time of Abraham (Genesis 14:5). The name Ashteroth-karnaim likely means "Ashteroth of the two horns," possibly referring to the goddess Astarte who was depicted with horns. The city was later part of the territory allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh (Joshua 13:29-31). The prophet Amos denounced the city, possibly indicating that it had become a center of idolatry (Amo.6.13).

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
