Karkor

(foundation), the place in which Zebah and Zalmunna were again routed by Gideon, (Judges 8:10) must have been on the east of Jordan.

kar'-kor (qarqor): An unidentified place where Gideon surprised and overwhelmed the remnants of the army of Zeba and Zalmunnah (Jud 8:10). It probably corresponds to Qarkar mentioned by Shalmaneser II, S. of Hamath (KB, I, 173).
