Endor (village)

Endor (village)

Endor was a Canaanite city which is listed in the Book of Joshua (Joshua 17:11) as one of the cities with its dependencies that the Israelites failed to dispossess. It is located between the Hill of Moreh and Mount Tabor in the Jezreel Valley.

The original meaning of "Endor" is unknown and its spelling in Hebrew varies. It is mentioned or alluded to in the Bible two more times in 1 Samuel 28:7, and in Psalms 83:11. It may be connected with the words ein meaning "spring" and dor, meaning "settlement", or with the Dorians, a Greek tribal group.
