1 Samuel 23:29
And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.
And David went up from thence,.... From the wilderness of Maon, having had a narrow escape for his life:
and dwelt in strong holds in Engedi; another place in the tribe of Judah, and which lay in the wilderness of Judah, and from whence that is called the wilderness of Engedi; and here Dr. Lightfoot {w} thinks he penned the sixty third psalm, Psalms 63:1, the wilderness about Engedi being the most desert of all other places, that being upon the borders of the dead sea; of this place, See Gill on "Joshua 15:62".
