kar´kor (קרקר, ḳarḳōr, "foundation"):

An unidentified place where Gideon surprised and overwhelmed the remnants of the army of Zeba and Zalmunnah (Judges 8:10 ff). It probably corresponds to Ḳarkar mentioned by Shalmaneser II, S. of Hamath (KB, I, 173).

It is probably a place in the open desert wastes on the east of Jordan (Judges 8:10), not far beyond Succoth and Penuel, to the south. Here Gideon overtook and routed a fugitive band of Midianites under Zeba and Zalmunna, whom he took captive.
