Commentary
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,
Psa 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
Jos 15:62
.
(w) Works, vol. 1. p. 58.
