Endor

"Fountain of Dor; i.e., "of the age", a place in the territory of" Issachar (Josh. 17:11) near the scene of the great victory which was gained by Deborah and Barak over Sisera and Jabin (comp. Ps. "83:9, 10). To Endor, Saul resorted to consult one reputed to be" a witch on the eve of his last engagement with the Philistines (1 Sam. 28:7). It is identified with the modern village of "Endur, "a dirty hamlet of some twenty houses, or rather huts," "most of them falling to ruin," on the northern slope of Little" "Hermon, about 7 miles from Jezreel."
