Eshcol Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Eshcol was an Amorite and one of the three allies of Abram (later called Abraham) mentioned in Gen.14.13,24. He, along with Mamre and Aner, joined forces with Abram to rescue his nephew Lot, who had been taken captive by King Chedorlaomer and his allies (Gen 14:14-16). The valley of Eshcol, known for its abundant grape clusters, was named after him (Num 13:23-24). This valley was later part of the land allocated to the tribe of Judah (Num.13.23; 32.9).
