Genesis 14:5 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

The Rephaims— The LXX and some others render this, the giants: they dwelt in Ashteroth-Karnaim, which was in Bashan, Deuteronomy 1:4.Joshua 9:10. The word Karnaim signifying horned, some have supposed that this was the city of Ashteroth or Diana, dedicated to the moon, which, is always represented horned. The Zuzims are supposed to have lived in the country afterwards inhabited by the Ammonites, east of Canaan, Deuteronomy 2:20. The Emims joined on the south to the Zuzims, and inhabited the country afterwards possessed by the Moabites; they were also a robust, gigantic race. See Deuteronomy 2:9-10. The country which the Horites, Deuteronomy 2:6 inhabited, was afterwards possessed by the Edomites: El-paran, or the plain of Paran, was a part of the desert of Arabia Petraea. Those who would enter more into the history of these places, may receive satisfaction by referring to Dr. Wells's Sacred Geography.
