Endor. [En'-dor]

City with its towns, possessed by Manasseh though situated in Issachar. It was apparently the scene of the death of Sisera and of Jabin; and it was the residence of the woman with a familiar spirit consulted by Saul. Joshua 17:11; 1 Samuel 1:28; Psalms 83:9, Psalms 1:83. Identified with Endor, 32 38' N, 35 23' E. The rock on which it stands has many caves, in one of which the witch may have carried on her incantations. From Gilboa it is distant 7 or 8 miles across difficult ground.
