ESHTEMOA, ESHTEMOH (Place)
City south of Jerusalem allotted to Judah when Palestine was divided among the 12 tribes (Jos 15:50). Eshtemoa was assigned to the Levites (Jos 21:14; 1 Chr 6:57). After an Amalekite victory, David sent booty to his allies in Eshtemoa (1 Sm 30:26-31). The site may be modern al-Samu’a, eight miles (13 kilometers) south of Hebron.
