However, the concept of Ashtoreth as a deity is related to the Greek goddess Astarte, though this is not directly reflected in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Ashtaroth is used in the Hebrew Bible as a proper noun, primarily referring to a city or region in Bashan, east of the Jordan River. It is mentioned in the context of territorial descriptions and historical narratives. Context: Ashtaroth is a significant location in the biblical narrative, often associated with the ancient Near Eastern goddess Ashtoreth. The city of Ashtaroth was situated in the region of Bashan, which was known for its fertile lands and strongholds. It is first mentioned in the context of the Rephaim, a group of ancient giants, as seen in Genesis 14:5: "In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim."
