Ein Gedi

And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi. 

I Samuel 23:29

Ein Gedi means "Spring of the Wild Goats." 

Here David hid from the wrath of King Saul. 

Ein Gedi is a beautiful oasis on the western edge of the Dead Sea. We watched goats scampering near our car. The Dead Sea provided a serene backdrop for the majestic palm trees.
