In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually presents the name as “Engedi” or “En-gedi,” including in 1 Samuel 24:1, 2 Chronicles 20:2, Joshua 15:62, Song of Songs 1:14, and Ezekiel 47:10. In 1 Samuel 24:2 it instead renders the setting as “the Rocks of the Wildgoats”; That variation does not by itself establish a different meaning.
