EN-DOR.A town of Manasseh in the territory of Issachar (Jos_17:11); the home of a woman with a familiar spirit consulted by Saul on the eve of the battle of Gilboa (1Sa_28:1-25); and, according to a psalmist (Psa_83:10), the scene of the rout of Jabin and Sisera. It is identified with Endûr, south of Tahor, where are several ancient caves.

En'-dor. (fountain of Dor). A place in the territory of Issachar, and yet, possessed by Manasseh. Jos_17:11. Endor was the scene of the great victory over Sisera and Jabin. It was here that the witch dwelt, whom Saul consulted. 1Sa_28:7. It was known to Eusebius, who describes it was a large village four miles south of Tabor. Here, to the north of Jebel Duhy, the name still lingers. The distance from the slopes of Gilboa to Endor is seven or eight miles, over difficult ground.

en?dor עין דּר, ‛ēn dōr, Jos_17:11; עין דּור, ‛ēn dōr, 1Sa_28:7; עין דּאר, ‛ēn dō'r, Psa_83:10; Codex Alexandrinus, Νηνδώρ, Nēndō̇r; Codex Vaticanus, Ἀελδώρ, Aeldō̇r): A town in the lot of Issachar assigned to Manasseh (Jos_17:11). Here dwelt the woman who had a familiar spirit, whom Saul consulted on the night before the battle of Gilboa (1Sa_28:7). Here also, according to Psa_83:10, perished fugitives of Sisera's army, after their defeat at the Kishon. The place was therefore not far from the Kishon and Tabor. It is generally identified with the modern Endūr, a small village on the northern slope of Jebel ed-Duḥy, with several ancient caves. It is not far from Nain and Shunem, and looks across the valley along which the broken ranks of Sisera may have attempted to make their way eastward to the open uplands, and thence to their native North. Coming hither from Gilboa, eluding the Philistine outposts under cover of the darkness, Saul would cross the Vale of Jezreel, and pass round the eastern base of the mountain, the Philistines being on the west.

En-dor
(Heb. Eyn-Dor', עֵן דּוֹר, fountain of Dor, i.e., of the age, 1Sa_28:7, Sept. Ε᾿νδώρ v.r. Α᾿ενδώρ; but defectively עֵן דֹּר in Jos_17:11, Sept. Δώρ, v.r. Ε᾿νδώρ; and ρ0αΔ9᾿οι in Psa_83:10 [11], Sept. Α᾿ενδώρ; Josephus ῎Ενδωρον᾿, Ant. 6:14, 2), a place which, with its "daughter-towns" (בָּנוֹת), was in the territory of Issachar, and yet possessed by Manasseh (Jos_17:11). This was the case with five other places which lay partly in Asher, partly in Issachar, and seem to have formed a kind of district of their own, called "the three, or the triple Nepheth" (q.v.). The Israelites were unable to expel the Canaanites from it until a late period. Endor was long held in memory by the Jewish people as connected with the great victory of Deborah and Barak over Sisera and Jabins. Taanach, Megiddo, and the torrent Kishon all witnessed the discomfiture of the huge host, but it was emphatically to Endor that the tradition of the death of the two chiefs attached itself (Psa_83:9-10). Possibly it was some recollection of this, some fame of sanctity or good omen in Endor, which drew the unhappy Saul thither (see Thomson, Land and Book, 2:161) on the eve of his last engagement with an enemy no less hateful and no less destructive than the Midianites (1Sa_28:7). Endor is not again mentioned in the Scriptures; but it was known to Eisebius and Jerome, who describe it (by the same name, Α᾿ενδώρ and Ε᾿νδώρ, AEndor and Endor) as a large village in the plain of Jezreel or Esdraelon, 4 miles S. of Tabor (Onomast. s.v. Α᾿ηνδώρ, AEndor), near Nain and Scythopolis (ib. s.v. ᾿Ηνδώρ, Endor). It was recognized during the Crusades (Brocardus, c. 6, page 176; Marin. Sanut. page 248), but was then partially lost sight of till the 17th century (Doubdan, page 580; Nau, page 632; Maundrell, Apr. 19). On the bleak northern slope of Jebel Duhy (the "Little Hermon" of travelers) the name still lingers, attached to a considerable but now deserted village (Burckhardt, Trav. page 342; Robinson, Res. 3:218; Schwarz, Palest. page 149). The rock of the mountain, on the slope of which Endur stands, is hollowed into caves, one of which, containing a little fountain, the entrance narrow, between rugged rocks, and partly covered with a fig-tree, may well have been the scene of the incantation of the witch (Van de Velde, Narrative, 2:383). The distance from the slopes of Gilboa to Endor is 7 or 8 miles, over difficult ground (Porter, Handb. 2:358).
