and dwelt in strong holds in Engedi; another place in the tribe of Judah, and which lay in the wilderness of Judah, and from whence that is called the wilderness of Engedi; and here Dr. Lightfoot (w) thinks he penned the sixty third psalm, Psalms 63:1, the wilderness about Engedi being the most desert of all other places, that being upon the borders of the dead sea; of this place, [See comments on Joshua 15:62].
