KARKOR

City in the Transjordan where Gideon attacked the armies of the two Midianite kings, Zebah and Zalmunna (Jgs 8:10). Indications of its location are sketchy. Judges 8:11 places it east of Nobah and Jog-behah, a town identified with Jubeiah, which is seven miles (11.3 kilometers) northwest of Amman in Jordan. A more feasible site is in the vicinity of ancient Succoth (Tell Dier ‘Alla) and Penuel (Tell edh-Dhahab esh-Sherqiyeh), both assigned to Gad’s tribe in Gilead.
