<< 1 Samuel 23:29 >>

Joshua 15:62 and Nibshan and the City of Salt and Engedi; six cities with their villages.

2 Chronicles 20:2 Then some came and reported to Jehoshaphat, saying, "A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, out of Aram and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar (that is Engedi)." (NASB ©1995)

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.

The district around En-gedi, near the western coast of the Dead Sea, is reported by travellers to be a mountainous territory, filled with caverns' and consequently, proper for David in his present circumstances. Dr. Lightfoot thinks this was the wilderness of Judah, in which David was when he penned the 63rd Psalm, which breathes as much pious and devout affection as almost any of his Psalms; for in all places and in all conditions he still kept up his communion with God.--If Christians knew their privileges better, and acted thereto, there would be less murmuring at the dark dispensations of Divine Providence. 1Sa 24:1 Ge 14:7 Jos 15:62 2Ch 20:2 So 1:14 Eze 47:10
