Berean Strong's Lexicon En-dor or En Dor or En-dor: En-dor Original Word: עֵין־דּוֹר Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: En-dor or En Dor or En-dor Pronunciation: ān-dōr Phonetic Spelling: (ane-dore') Definition: En-dor Meaning: En-Dor Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for En-dor in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to a location in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: En-dor is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "spring of dwelling" or "fountain of habitation." It is primarily known as the location where King Saul sought the counsel of a medium or witch before his final battle against the Philistines. Cultural and Historical Background: En-dor was a Canaanite city located in the territory of Issachar, near Mount Tabor. In ancient Israel, consulting mediums or necromancers was strictly forbidden by Mosaic Law (Leviticus 19:31; Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Despite this, King Saul, in desperation, visited a medium at En-dor to summon the spirit of the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 28:7-25). This event highlights the spiritual decline and desperation of Saul's reign.
