EN-DOR ĕn’ dōr (עֵֽינ־דֹּר׃֙, עֵ֥ין דֹּֽור, עֵינ־דֹּ֑אר, LXX ̓Αενδώρ, āndōr, fountain of habitation). A town in Issachar allotted to Manasseh because of the members of the tribe of Manasseh living there (Josh 17:11). Apparently, Manasseh did not drive out all the Canaanites from En-dor at the time of the conquest (17:12). It is identified with the historical Endūr, 4 m. S of Mt. Tabor and 6 m. SE of Nazareth, on the northern slope of Little Hermon (Nebi Dahi), where there are several ancient caves. In Roman days, it had a large population. In modern times, Endūr was occupied by Arabs who abandoned it in 1948 during the Arab-Jewish war, whereupon the Israeli established a settlement there and called it Ein Dor.

According to Psalm 83:9, 10, En-dor formed part of the plain of Kishon and thus a part of the battlefield of Megiddo. It was the scene of the defeat of Jabin and Sisera by Barak. En-dor was the site of the encampment of the army of King Saul before the battle with the Philistines (1 Sam 29:1). The town is perhaps most famous because Saul here sought the help of a medium in the uncertain hours before his final battle (28:7).
