Eshcol was an Amorite and one of the three allies of Abram (later called Abraham) mentioned inGenesis 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 (Genesis 14:14-16). The valley of Eshcol, known for its abundant grape clusters, was named after him (Numbers 13:23-24). This valley was later part of the land allocated to the tribe of Judah (Num.13.23; 32.9).
