**The whole BDB entry:** Jos 15:33 + 2 times, אֶשְׁתָּאֹל Ju 13:25 + 3 times n.pr.loc. (in form like the inf. of the Arabic viii. conj. from שָׁאַל: so אֶשְׁתְּמֹעַ from שָׁמַע. Perhaps Arabic-speaking tribes may have settled in parts of S. of Judah) city of Danites in the שְׁפֵלָה of Judah, named with צָרְעָה Jos 15:33; 19:41 Ju 13:25; 16:31; 18:2, 8, 11; perhaps mod. ’Eshûʿa Surveyiii. 25 GuerinPal. ii. 13 f. 382.

Why these entries: BDB: same consonants, part of speech agrees, 7 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (2 candidates); OSHB: same consonants, part of speech agrees, 0 words shared with the BDB entry, 1 with the glosses (2 candidates)
