About This Place

A town in the Shephelah on the border between Judah and Dan, paired in scripture with neighboring Zorah. Samson grew up in the camp of Dan "between Zorah and Eshtaol" where the Spirit of the Lord first stirred him (Judges 13:25). After his death he was buried in his father Manoah's tomb "between Zorah and Eshtaol" (Judges 16:31). The Danites also assembled their scouts here before migrating north to conquer Laish (Judges 18:2, 11).
