David, antes de ser rey, hab\u00eda entrado en el servicio del rey Sa\u00fal. En el palacio, David sol\u00eda tocar la lira para apacentar las crisis de ansiedad del rey. All\u00ed se hizo amigo de Jonat\u00e1n, hijo de Sa\u00fal.\u00a0 Pero David, por sus victorias contra los filisteos \u2013 en particular contra Goliat \u2013 lleg\u00f3 a ser m\u00e1s popular que el rey. Un d\u00eda al volver de una victoria, las hijas de Jerusal\u00e9n cantaron: \u201cSa\u00fal mat\u00f3 sus mil, pero David sus diez mil.\u201d (1 Sm 18,7) Se irrit\u00f3 mucho Sa\u00fal contra David. Meditaba c\u00f3mo matarle. Cuando se enter\u00f3 de esto Jonat\u00e1n avis\u00f3 a David en secreto para que se escapara. Durante varios a\u00f1os, vivi\u00f3 David como un paria, siempre con el riesgo de caer en manos del rey Sa\u00fal. La Biblia relata sus andanzas por el desierto de Judea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Curiosamente no falta el agua en el desierto de Judea. Si es cierto que llueve menos de 150 mm al a\u00f1o en Ein Gedi, hay que tomar en cuenta que llueve hasta cuatro veces m\u00e1s en los montes de Judea, encima del desierto. El agua que cae abundante en la cumbre de aquellos montes se dirige por una parte hacia el Mediterr\u00e1neo, al oeste y, por otra parte, hacia el Mar Muerto, al este.<\/span><\/p>\n El profeta Ezequiel se hace eco de aquella realidad: \u201cy me dijo: Hijo de hombre, estas aguas van a la regi\u00f3n oriental, bajan al Arab\u00e1 y desembocan en el mar, en aquellas aguas p\u00fatridas, y \u00e9stas se sanear\u00e1n.\u201d (Ez 47,8)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n La vertiente \u00e1rida de la cordillera de Judea-Samaria, aunque de clima \u00e1rido est\u00e1 entrecortada por varios arroyos. Algunos, como el Cedr\u00f3n, llevan agua todo el a\u00f1o; otros, s\u00f3lo cuando cae una lluvia fuerte en los altos de Judea. Ein Gedi cuenta adem\u00e1s con la presencia de dos fuentes de agua viva: Ein Gedi y Ein Arugot. Tienen agua en tal abundancia que se empez\u00f3 a comercializar. Todo israel\u00ed conoce las botellas de 2 litros del agua de Ein Gedi embotellada en el kibutz del mismo nombre.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.saxum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/unnamed-1.jpg” alt=”Right: The Nahal David waterfall above de Ein Gedi, during springtime.

In the palace, David would play the lyre to calm the king\u2019s anxiety attacks. There, he became friends with Jonathan, Saul\u2019s son. But David, due to his victories against the Philistines\u2014particularly against Goliath\u2014became more popular than the king. One day, after returning from a victory, the daughters of Jerusalem sang: \u2018Saul has slain his thousands, David his tens of thousands\u2019 (1 Sam 18:7). Saul grew very angry with David. He began plotting how to kill him. When Jonathan learned of this, he secretly warned David to flee. For several years, David lived as an outcast, always at the mercy of falling into King Saul\u2019s hands. The Bible recounts his wanderings in the Judean desert.<\/span><\/p> Interestingly, water is not lacking in the Judean desert. While it\u2019s true that it rains less than 150 mm per year in Ein Gedi, one must consider that it rains up to four times more in the Judean mountains, above the desert. The abundant rainfall on the summit of those mountains flows partially towards the Mediterranean to the west and in part towards the Dead Sea to the east.<\/span><\/p> The prophet Ezekiel highlights that reality: \u201cHe said to me, \u2018This water flows out into the eastern district, runs down into the Arabah and empties into the polluted waters of the sea to freshen them\u2019.\u201d (Ez 47:8)\u00a0<\/span><\/p> The arid slope of the Judea-Samaria mountain range, though of an arid climate, is intersected by several streams. Some, like the Kidron, carry water year-round; others, only when heavy rain falls on the heights of Judea. Ein Gedi also benefits from the presence of two living springs: Ein Gedi and Ein Arugot. They have such an abundance of water that it began to be used commercially. Every Israeli is familiar with the 2-liter bottles of water from Ein Gedi\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Ein Gedi bottled at the kibbutz of the same name.<\/span><\/p> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_2,1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.25.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.25.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.saxum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/unnamed-1.jpg\" alt=\"Right: The Nahal David waterfall above de Ein Gedi, during springtime.

When he came to the sheepfolds along the way, he found a cave, which he entered to relieve himself\u201d (1 Sm 24:2-4).<\/em><\/p>
Once Saul had moved away from the cave, David came out shouting, \u201cMy lord the king!\u201d (1 Sm 24:9) and prostrated himself to the ground as a sign of reverence toward Saul\u2019s royal office.
