Endor:

fountain of Dor; i.e., "of the age", a place in the territory of Issachar (Jos 17:11) near the scene of the great victory which was gained by Deborah and Barak over Sisera and Jabin (Psa 83:9,10). To Endor, Saul resorted to consult one reputed to be a witch on the eve of his last engagement with the Philistines (1Sa 28:7). It is identified with the modern village of Endur, "a dirty hamlet of some twenty houses, or rather huts, most of them falling to ruin," on the northern slope of Little Hermon, about 7 miles from Jezreel.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Endor:

(fountain of Dor) a place in the territory of Issachar, and yet possessed by Manasseh (Joshua 17:11). Endor was the scene of the great victory over Sisera and Jabin. It was here that the witch dwelt whom Saul consulted (1 Samuel 28:7) it was known to Eusebius, who describes it was a large village four miles south of Tabor. Here to the north of Jebel Duhy the name still lingers. The distance from the slopes of Gilboa to Endor is seven or eight miles, over difficult ground.
