Eshtemoa, a Levitical city in the hill country of Judah south of Hebron, also a personal name in Chronicles.
A proper noun with two referents. Primarily it names a Levitical city in the southern hill country of Judah, identified with modern es-Samu' south of Hebron. It appears in the town lists of Joshua (15:50; 21:14) and as a destination to which David sent spoil after defeating the Amalekites (1 Sam 30:28). In Chronicles it also appears as a personal name -- a man of Judah (1 Chr 4:17, 19). The alternate form Eshtemoh (Josh 15:50) and the standard Eshtemoa represent the same location. Spanish 'Estemoa' and English 'Eshtemoa' both transliterate the Hebrew with minor variation.
