Eshtemoa
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Obedience, a town in the mountains of Judah (Josh 21:14; 1 Chr 6:57), which was allotted, with the land round it, to the priests. It was frequented by David and his followers during their wanderings; and he sent presents of the spoil of the Amalekites to his friends there (1 Sam 30:28). It is identified with es-Semu’a, a village about 3 1/2 miles east of Socoh, and 7 or 8 miles south of Hebron, around which there are ancient remains of the ruined city. It is the centre of the “south country” or Negeb. It is also called “Eshtemoh” (Josh 15:50).

It is now es-Semu`a, a considerable village of evident antiquity some 8 miles South of Hebron.
