Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עַיִן (ayin), meaning "spring" or "fountain," and דּוֹר (dor), meaning "generation" or "habitation."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for En-Dor, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. However, the concept of seeking guidance from spirits or mediums is addressed in the New Testament, such as in Acts 16:16-18, where Paul encounters a spirit of divination. Usage: En-Dor is a proper noun used to refer to a specific location in ancient Israel. It is mentioned in the context of a significant biblical event involving King Saul. Context: En-Dor is a town located in the territory of Issachar, near Mount Tabor, within the region allotted to the tribe of Manasseh. It is most famously known for its association with King Saul's visit to the medium or witch of En-Dor, as recorded in 1 Samuel 28:7-25. In this narrative, Saul, seeking guidance before his battle against the Philistines, visits a woman with a familiar spirit at En-Dor to summon the spirit of the prophet Samuel. This event highlights Saul's desperation and departure from God's guidance, as he seeks forbidden spiritual practices. En-Dor is also mentioned in Psalm 83:10, in a poetic reference to the defeat of the Midianites and their allies, which is linked to the broader narrative of Israel's deliverance from its enemies.
