Eshtemoa:
esh-te-mo'-a, esh'-te-mo-a ('eshtemoa):
A Levitical city in the hill country of Judah (Jos 21:14; 1Ch 6:57); Eshtemoh ('eshtemoh, Jos 15:50). In 1ch 4:17,19, Eshtemoa is said to be a Maacathite and "son" of Ishbah. David after routing the Amalekites sent a present to his friends in (among other places) Eshtemoa (1Sa 30:28).
It is now es-Semua, a considerable village of evident antiquity some 8 miles South of Hebron.
