And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at En-gedi.
David went up from his previous place of refuge and settled in the strongholds at En-gedi while Saul was actively pursuing him. That move belongs to the period of Saul's relentless hunt for David described in 1 Samuel 23. About that same time Abiathar escaped Saul's slaughter of the priests and fled to join David. David acknowledged his own part in bringing that danger upon the priests and promised Abiathar safety with him.
