ESHTEMOA.—In the tribe of Judah (Jos_15:50—here called Eshtemoh), a Levitical city in the district of Hebron (Jos_21:14), to which David sent a share of the spoil of the Philistines (1Sa_30:28). The name as es-Semu‘a survives about 8 miles S. of Hebron; extensive remains of antiquity are here to be seen.

Eshtemoh (Jos_15:50). Allotted with its suburbs to the priests (Jos_21:14; 1Ch_6:57; compare 1Ch_4:17). Frequented by David during his wanderings. Accordingly, to his friends there he sent presents of the Amalekite spoil (1Sa_30:28; 1Sa_30:31). Now Semu'a, seven miles S. of Hebron. Eshtemoa was son of Ishbah; Mered was husband of Jehudijah (the Jewess), by whose descendants, Gedor, Socho, and Zanoah, near Eshtemoa, were founded. The town Eshtemoa was founded by the descendants of Bithiah, Pharaoh's daughter, the Egyptian wife of Mered. (See BITHIAH.) A large stone (Hajr-el-Sakhain) stands on the N. road to the village Semu'a at a distance of 3,000 cubits, the Levitical extent of suburbs and the boundary of the village possessions to this day (Palestine Exploration). How the Holy Land confirms the Holy Book!
