Haydock's commentary
Astaroth signifies "sheep," particularly ewes, with their dugs distended with milk. Hence the Sidonians formed the idea of their Astarte, 1 Kings xi. 5. (Haydock)
The Rabbins say, that Astaroth denotes large mountains, generally covered with sheep. Astaroth-Carnaim, was the city. (Eusebius)
Here the famous Og resided, though he was defeated at Edrai, as the Hebrew intimates. (Calmet)
