ENDOR	A city of Manasseh, Jos 17:11, four miles south of mount Tabor, near Nain, in the way to Scythopolis, Ps 83:9,10. Here the witch lived whom Saul consulted, 1Sa 28:1-25. The pretence of this sorceress that she could call up the spirits of the dead from their repose was evidently false. She was amazed and appalled when the form of Samuel really appeared, sent by God himself to put her to shame, and bring to king Saul his last warning.
