From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 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 (1
    Chr. 6:71). Uzzia, one of David's valiant men (1 Chr. 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."
