Zorah, and Eshtaol - See the note on Jos 15:33. Ir-shemesh - The city of sun; another proof of the idolatry of the Canaanites. Some think this was the same as Beth-shemesh.

And why should i speak of all one by one?

And so foreshadowing the future mystery, he demanded a wife of the aliens, which, as it is written, his father and mother knew not of, because it was from the Lord.

Commentary on Judges 16:312 voices
Satan the tyrant outwitted Samson with a woman, the same tyrant outwitted Adam with a woman: Samson had to grind at the mill, Adam had to labor wearily on the soil; Samson prayed to be released, whereas we pray to grow old in our misery. …

- Judges 18:2
So the Danites sent out five men from their clans, men of valor from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and explore it. “Go and explore the land,” they told them. The men entered the hill country of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah, where they spent the night.
Commentary on Judges 18:22 voices
Recognizing his priest as one of their former acquaintances, or perhaps by his provincial dialect, they eagerly enlisted his services in ascertaining the result of their present expedition. His answer, though apparently promising, was delusive, and really as ambiguous as those of the heathen oracles.

And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol,.... After they had well viewed the city, and made their remarks on the inhabitants of it, the condition and circumstances in which they were, and took notice of the goodness of the land about it, they returned to their brethren that sent them, particularly those that dwelt at the two places mentioned: and their brethren said unto them, what say ye? what tidings do you bring? what account of the place and country where you have been?

So six hundred Danites departed from Zorah and Eshtaol, armed with weapons of war.
Commentary on Judges 18:112 voices
And there went from thence of the family of the Danites,.... Or families, the singular being put for the plural; for it can hardly be thought that such a number of men, as after mentioned, went out of one family: out of Zorah, and out of Eshtaol; the two places the spies were sent from, and now had returned unto: and upon their report, and at their instigation, and by the encouragement they gave, there were six hundred men appointed with weapons of war; that set out armed from the above places, on the expedition to take Laish.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Six hundred men - These were not the whole, for we find they had children, etc., Jdg 18:21; but these appear to have been six hundred armed men.
