Goddess

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia by James Orr (ed.) (1915)

god´es (אלהים, ’ĕlōhı̄m, θεά, theá): There is no separate word for “goddess” in the Old Testament. In the only instance in which the word occurs in English Versions of the Bible (1Ki 11:5, 1Ki 11:33), the gender is determined by the noun - “Ashtoreth, the god (goddess) of the Sidonians.” In the New Testament the term is applied to Diana of Ephesus (Act 19:27, Act 19:35, Act 19:37).
