Ashtaroth
a city of Bashan, in the kingdom of Og (Deut 1:4 ; Josh 12:4; 13:12; 9:10). It was in the half-tribe of Manasseh (Josh 13:12), and as a Levitical city was given to the Gershonites (1Chr 6:71). Uzzia, one of David's valiant men (1Chr 11:44), is named as of this city. It is identified with Tell Ashterah, in the Hauran, and is noticed on monuments B.C. 1700-1500. The name Beesh-terah (Josh 21:27) is a contraction for Beth-eshterah, i.e., "the house of Ashtaroth."
