generation, habitation
(same as Dura)
Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary
DOR.One of the cities which joined Jabin against Joshua (Jos_11:2), and whose king was killed (Jos_12:23). It lay apparently on or near the border between Manasseh and Asher, so that its possession was ambiguous (Jos_17:11). The aborigines were not driven out (Jdg_1:27). It was administered by Ben-abinadab for Solomon (1Ki_4:11). Though Josephus refers to it as on the sea-coast, and it is traditionally equated to Tantura, north of Cæsarea, the reference to the heights of Dor rather suggests that it was in some hilly district such as the slope of the range of Carmel. The name seems quite forgotten.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
("habitation".) An ancient, royal, Canaanite city, on the Mediterranean, S. of Carmel; assigned to Manasseh, though within Asher (Jos_11:2; Jos_12:23; Jos_17:11); Jos_17:9 miles N. of Caesarea toward Ptolemais; now Tantura. The coast line runs parallel to a spur of Carmel at a mile and a half distance; the intervening "region" is the "border" or "coast" of Dor. The original inhabitants were not expelled, but David made them tributary, and Solomon stationed one of his commissariat officers there (1Ki_4:11; Jdg_1:27-28).
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.
Dor. (dwelling). Jos_17:11; 1Ki_4:11. An ancient royal city of the Canaanites, Jos_12:23, whose ruler was an ally of Jabin, king of Hazor, against Joshua. Jos_11:1-2. It appears to have been within the territory of the tribe of Asher, though allotted to Manasseh, Jos_17:11; Jdg_1:27, Solomon stationed at Dor, one of his twelve purveyors. 1Ki_4:11. Jerome places it on the coast, "in the ninth mile from Caesarea, on the way to Ptolemais." Just at the point indicated is the small village of Tantura, probably an Arab corruption of Dora, consisting of about thirty houses, wholly constructed of ancient materials.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
Dor, a town on the border of the Mediterranean, which Jerome places nine Roman miles north of Caesarea. It was one of the royal towns of the Canaanites (Jos_11:2; Jos_12:23), and was included in the heritage of Manasseh (Jos_17:11). The place, or rather the region to which it gave name, occurs again in 1Ki_4:11. A place still exists, at the distance indicated by Jerome, under the name of Tortura, which Buckingham describes as a small village with about forty or fifty houses and five hundred inhabitants. It has a small port, formed by a narrow range of rocky islets, at a short distance from the sandy beach.
