EN-HAKKORE (‘spring of the partridge’; cf. 1 Samuel 26:20 , Jeremiah 17:11 ). The name of a fountain at Lehi ( Judges 15:19 ). The narrator (J [Note: Jahwist.] ) of the story characteristically connects hakkôrç with the word yikrâ (‘he called’) of Judges 15:18 , and evidently interprets ‘En-hakkôrç as ‘the spring of him that called.’ The whole narrative is rather obscure, and the tr. [Note: translate or translation.] in some instances doubtful. The situation of En-hakkôrç is also quite uncertain.
