En Gedi
En Gedi is a canyon carved out of the cliffs near the dead sea. “En” means spring and “Gedi” means goat. Unlike the Dead Sea life is all around us, ibex, rock badgers, birds, trees and more sing the happy songs of animated creation.
This would have been the place that David has a chance to kill Saul but does not, instead only taking a piece of his garment. There’s also references to this land in Song of Solomon and in 2 Chronicles where Jehoshaphat defeats Moab and Ammon by faith and worship (chapter 20)
