Engedi

Joshua

Every Acre Accounted For

Engedi is listed among Judah's wilderness cities — a desert oasis that will later become David's most famous refuge when he is fleeing from Saul.

1 Samuel

The Chase That God Kept Redirecting

Engedi is where David finally settles after his narrow escape — a remote desert oasis on the Dead Sea's western shore that becomes his next wilderness stronghold and the setting for the famous cave encounter in chapter 24.

1 Samuel

En Gedi is the rugged desert wilderness where David has taken refuge — its caves providing the hiding place that becomes the unlikely stage for this defining confrontation between the hunted and the hunter.

2 Chronicles

Engedi is mentioned here to convey the urgency of the crisis — as a desert oasis just west of the Dead Sea, its proximity to Jerusalem means the enemy army is nearly at the capital's doorstep.
