A Prayer David was twice in great peril in caves . on one occasion , in the cave of Adullam , when he fled from Achish king of Gath; and on another , in the cave of Engedi , where he had taken refuge from the pursuit of Saul. It is not certain to which of these events this Psalm refers; though probably to the former.
