Exegesis
Misham {מִשָּׁם | miš-šām} marks the point of departure, while the prepositional phrase bimetsudot {בִּמְצוּדוֹת | bimməṣūḏōṯ} governs ein-gedi {עֵין־גֶּדִי | ʾên gēdî} in a construct chain expressing “strongholds of En Gedi.” English renders the Hebrew VSO order as subject–verb–prepositional phrase to preserve narrative flow and thematic emphasis on refuge. The paired action verbs with vav-consecutive create immediacy and continuity.
In context — 1 Samuel 23:29
Then David went up from there and settled in the strongholds of En Gedi.
