Narrow pass or recess, a town ([Josh. 15:33](/josh#Josh.15.33)) in the low country, the She-phelah of Judah. It was allotted to the tribe of Dan ([Josh. 19:41](/josh#Josh.19.41)), and was one of their strongholds. Here Samson spent his boyhood, and first began to show his mighty strength; and here he was buried in the burying-place of Manoah his father ([Judg. 13:25](/judg#Judg.13.25); [16:31](/judg#Judg.16.31); [18:2](/judg#Judg.18.2), [8](/judg#Judg.18.8), [11](/judg#Judg.18.11), [12](/judg#Judg.18.12)). It is identified with the modern Yeshua, on a hill 2 miles east of Zorah. Others, however, identify it with Kustul, east of Kirjath-jearim.
