The caves of En Gedi (those holes are all caves), where David hid from King Saul. This is where he crept down one night and cut off a piece of the hem of King Saul's cloak.
No one knows exactly which caves he was in (there are a million), but this is the place. He also wrote a few Psalms here, like Psalm 57 and 142.
We even saw the little goats, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 24, as well as a freshwater spring.
En Gedi (and throughout the desert) is home to acacia trees, which have soft wood and are grown in dry riverbeds. These are the trees made to make the Ark of the covenant... and the crown of thorns.

These pictures really help bring to life the protection God gave to David. I can’t begin to imagine how David ‘hid’ in these ‘caves’.
ReplyDeleteI know! It's high up, steep, and dangerous. I kept picturing him trying to get to the caves (and it made me wonder what artifacts could be buried in them)!
DeleteYes!
