1Sa 23:29 (KJV) — And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.

1Sa 23:29 (NASB) — *David went up from there and stayed in the strongholds of Engedi.

Phrase from KJV (Help)		Correlating Verses

strong holds	1Sa 23:14,19. 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 up thereto, there would be less murmuring at the dark dispensations of Divine Providence. 1Sa 24:1; Gen 14:7; Jos 15:62; 2Ch 20:2; Sgs 1:14; Eze 47:10
