Ashteroth Karnaim

Ashteroth Karnaim was a city east of the Jordan River in Bashan in the northern part of the Transjordan.

There were originally two neighbouring cities, Ashtaroth, and northeast of it Karnaim, the latter annexing the name of the former after Ashtaroth's decline and becoming known as Ashteroth Karnaim.

Eusebius (c. 260/265–340) writes of Karneia/Karnaia, a large village in Arabia Petraea, where a house of Job was identified by tradition.
