Dr. Pococke observes , "Beyond the valley . of Tekoa there is a very large grotto , which the Arabs call El-Maamah , a hiding place . the high rocks on each side of the valley are almost perpendicular; and the way to the grotto is by a terrace formed in the rock , which is very narrow. There are two entrances into it; we went by the farthest , which leads by a narrow passage into a very large grotto , the rock being supported by natural pillars; the top of it rises in several places like domes; the grotto is perfectly dry. There is a tradition , that the people of the country , to the number of 30 ,000 , retired into this grotto , to avoid a bad air. This place is so strong , that one would imagine it to be one of the strong holds of En-gedi , to which David and his men fled from Saul , and possibly it may be that very cave in which he cut off Saul's skirt; for David and his men might , with good ease , lie hid there and not be seen by him."
