EN-DOR (■i'nj*y Jos 17", -in 'p 1 S 28', iiJi 'p Ps 83'°.— A town in Issachar belonging to Manasseh, mentioned with Dor as one of ' three countries ' (AV; the text nj: is undoubtedly corrupt) which appear to have been in the Jordan Valley (Beth- shean and Ibleam), in the Esdraelon plateau (Dor and En-dor), and in the low hills to the W. (Taan- ach) ; but for ' countries ' we may read 'heights' ( RV), as referring only to Dor, En-dor, and Taanach. It was not far from Shunem and Gilboa, and near the Kishon and Tabor, where Sisera is said in the last passage (Ps 83'") to have perished. In the fourth cent. A.D. it was kno^\'n as a large village 4 Roman miles south of Tabor — now the hamlet Endiir in this position, on the N. slope of the conical hill of Nebi Dhahy. Possibly the site of Dor should be placed near En-dor, which means the ' spring of Dor ' j but it may be objected that both are noticed in a single passage (cf., however, Sheba and Beersheba in Jos 19*).* En-dor was one of the places conquered by Tahutmes in. about 1600 B.C. See SWP vol. ii. sheet viii. See Dor.

• W. H. Bennett In Haupt's OT remarks on Jos 17" ■ As the Endor clause does not occur in Jg 127, and Endor is about 26 miles E. of Dor, the clause is probablv due to accidental rei>etition of the Dor clause.' In Jos 102 in like manner Sheba, which is wanting in 1 Ch 42s and in some Heb. MSS, may be an accidental repetition of the V^v in V3r nM3'

ENDOW, ENDUE.— These words are distinct in origin. Endow is fr. Lat. in-datere (fr. dotem, a dowry), through the Fr. en-douer. Its proper meaning is, therefore, to provide with a dowrv. Endue is fr. Lat. indiicere, through the old hr. induire, and properly means ' to lead on,' ' intro- duce.' But a supposed derivation from Lat. in- duere, 'to put on (clothing),' helped to give tho word its meanings of 'clothe,' and then 'invest' with some quality or spiritual gift. Then this was so close to the meaning of ' endow,' and the spelling was so uncertain, that the two words were often confounded. When the spelling is 'endow' the meaning is rarely wrong ; but ' endue ' (often spelt 'indue' from the influence of Lat. indtiere) took on all the meanings of botli words.
In AV tliey occur Gn 3u-" ' God hath endued me with a good dowry' (iji, RV 'endowed'); Ex 22" 'he shall surely endow her to be his wife' (in: ■iraP". RV 'pay a dowTy for her'); 2 Ch 2'2-i« ' endued (1611 ' indued ') with prudence . . . under- standing' (i'lV) ; Sir 17' 'he endued them with strength' (iviSvaip) ; Lk 24^' 'till ye be endued (1611 'indued') with power from on high' (eis ov 4pSv(7-qaBe, RV 'be clothed'); and Ja 3" 'endued (1611 'indued') with knowledge' (iiriaT-fjixiiip , RV 'understanding'). That the distinction between the words was not always forgotten about 1611 is shown by this quot. from Hieron (1616), Works, ii. 37, ' Was it with what religion is the woman endewed, or with what portion is shee endowed ? '

EN-EGLAIH (d-^?j.T!.').— A locality on the Dead Sea, mentioned along with En-gedi, Ezk 47"*. It has not been identified, but is not improbably 'A in Fcshkah (Robinson, BRP ii. 489). Tristram "(/3i We Places, 93) would make it 'Ain Hajluh (lictli- hcglah). In any case, it probably lay to the N. towards the mouth of the Jordan. Eglaim of Is 15* is a different place, its initial letter being K, not V, and its situation apparently to the south of the Dead Sea (cf. Davidson on Ezk 47'°).

ENEMESSAR ('E^-f/ifirirdp).- The name of a king of Assyria, found in Gr. codd. of To 1-, where Heb., Aram., and Lat. codd. all read Shalniane.ser. Shalmaneser is explained by recent Assyriologists to mean 'Salman (the god) is chief; but, in accounting for the form Enemessar, it is possible that the Hebrews interpreted the name to mean ' Esar (or Assur) is peaceful' (cf. Esarhaddon) ; then the Gr. translator capriciously altered ]rha TON ' Esar is peaceful ' to "On pn ' F.sar is gracious,' toning down the final | to 0 as in llanamel (Jer 32') for Sk pn ' El is gracious. '
Other explanations are : 1. That Enemessar is for Senemessar (sh changed to s, and then to the light breathing, as in Arkeanos for Sargon), I being dropped, and the m and n transposed (.so Pinches). 2. That Shalmaneserdrops the '7i?(wlii<-h was possibly mistaken for the genitive) and then transposes m and n (so Rawlinson). 3. It is an unrecorded private name of Sargon, for Anuiiiasir = 'the god Ann is gracious' (so Oppert). 4. It is a corruption of Sarru-kinu = Sargon reversed (so Bickell). J. T. Marshall.
