A valley in which Delilah resided, not far from Zorah, and Eshtaol, Judges 16:4 . In winter and spring it was the channel of a brook, flowing northwest from Judah, by the region of Dan and the Philistines, into the Mediterranean. Jerome mentions a village of Sorek in that vicinity. The same Hebrew word, translated "choice" and "noble" in Genesis 49:11; Isaiah 5:2; Jeremiah 2:21 , its the name of a vine bearing small grapes, but very sweet and almost without seeds. This vine may have given the valley its name.
Although written in 1859 by William Rand, this dictionary of the Bible from the American Tract Society is still relevant today.Wikipedia
