ESHTAOL.—A lowland city of Judah (Jos_15:33) on the borders of Dan 19:41), near which Samson began to feel ‘the spirit of the Lord’ (Jdg_13:25), and was buried (Jdg_16:31); the home of some of the Danites who attacked Laish (Jdg_18:2; Jdg_18:11). It is supposed to be the same as Eshu‘a, near Ain esh-Shems (Beth-shemesh). The Eshtaolites are enumerated among the Calebites (1Ch_2:53).
