esh´tā̇ -ol ( אשׁתּאול , 'eshtā'ōl ; Ἀσταώλ , Astaō̇l ): A town in the Shephelah of Judah named next to Zorah (Joshua 15:33; Joshua 19:41 ). Between these two cities lay Mahaneh-dan (the camp of Dan) where the Spirit of the Lord began to move Samson (Judges 13:25 ), and where he was buried (Judges 16:31 ). A contingent from Eshtaol formed part of the 600 Danites who captured Laish (Judges 18:2 , Judges 18:11 ). It is probably represented by the modern Ashū‛a , about a mile and a half East of Zorah, the modern Ṣar‛ah .
