This area was significant during the period of the Judges, a time characterized by decentralized leadership and frequent conflicts with neighboring peoples, particularly the Philistines. Eshtaol, along with nearby Zorah, is traditionally associated with the early life of Samson, one of the most famous judges of Israel.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֶשְׁתָּאוֺל</font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/15-33.htm">Joshua 15:33</a> 2t., <font class="hebrew2">אֶשְׁתָּאֹל</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/13-25.htm">Judges 13:25</a> 3t. <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (in form like the infinitive of the Arabic VIII. conjugation from <font class="hebrew2">שָׁאַל</font>: so <font class="hebrew2">אֶשְׁתְּמֹעַ</font> from <font class="hebrew2">שָׁמַע</font>.
