Endor is a location in the territory of Manasseh, near the Jezreel Valley. It is famously known as the place where King Saul consulted a medium before his final battle against the Philistines (<a href="/1_samuel/28-7.htm">1 Samuel 28:7</a>). The mention of Endor in <a href="/psalms/83-10.htm">Psalm 83:10</a> likely alludes to the defeat of the Midianites and their allies, as recounted in <a href="/judges/4.htm">Judges 4-7</a>, where God delivered Israel from oppression through leaders like Deborah and Gideon. The reference serves as a reminder of God's past deliverance and judgment against those who opposed His people.<p><b>and became like dung on the ground</b><br>This vivid imagery emphasizes the totality of the enemies' defeat and their subsequent disgrace. In ancient Near Eastern culture, being compared to dung signifies utter humiliation and worthlessness. This metaphor is used elsewhere in Scripture to describe the fate of those who oppose God (<a href="/2_kings/9-37.htm">2 Kings 9:37</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/8-2.htm">Jeremiah 8:2</a>). The imagery underscores the theme of divine justice, where those who rise against God's chosen people are ultimately brought low.
