  Energies of four-quark systems have been extracted in a quenched SU(2)
lattice Monte Carlo calculation for two different geometries, rectangular and
colinear, with $\beta=2.4$ and lattice size $16^3\times 32$. Also, by going to
a lattice $24^3\times 32$ and to $\beta=2.5$, the effect of the finite lattice
size and scaling are checked. An attempt is made to understand these results in
terms of a model based on interquark two-body potentials but modified very
significantly by a phenomenological gluon-field overlap factor.
