Usage: Eshtaol is used in the Hebrew Bible as the name of a town in the territory of the tribe of Judah, later allotted to the tribe of Dan. It is mentioned in the context of the story of Samson and in the delineation of tribal boundaries. Context: Eshtaol is a town located in the Shephelah, the lowland region of Judah, near the border with the tribe of Dan. It is first mentioned in the Book of Joshua as part of the inheritance of the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:33). Later, it is included in the allotment to the tribe of Dan (Joshua 19:41). Eshtaol is notably associated with the early life of Samson, the judge of Israel. According to Judges 13:25, "And the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him at Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol." This indicates that Eshtaol was part of the region where Samson grew up and began his exploits. Additionally, after Samson's death, his family buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah (Judges 16:31). The town is also mentioned in the context of the migration of the Danites, who sought a new territory to inhabit (Judges 18:2, 8, 11). Eshtaol's historical and geographical significance is underscored by its repeated mention in the biblical narrative, highlighting its role in the tribal dynamics of ancient Israel.
