<p> (See | <p> (See [[Gath]] ) The 600 who followed David from Gath under "Ittai the Gittites," "a stranger and an exile" ( 2 Samuel 15:18-20). [[Obed]] Edom, being a Levite, must have derived his title "the Gittite" from some incidental connection with Gath; others derive his name from the [[Levitical]] city of Gath-rimmon ( 2 Samuel 6:10); but it seems strange if "Gittite" be used in one sense of [[Ittai]] of Gath, and in a different sense of Obed [[Edom]] ( 1 Chronicles 26:4). </p> | ||

<p> ''''' git´ı̄ts ''''' ( גּתּים , גּתּי , <i> ''''' gittı̄m ''''' </i> , plural of <i> ''''' gittı̄ ''''' </i> ): The inhabitants of Gath. They are mentioned along with the inhabitants of the other chief [[Philistine]] cities in Joshua 13:3 . It would seem that numbers of them emigrated to Judah, for we find 600 of them acting as a bodyguard to David with Ittai at their head ( 2 Samuel 15:18; 2 Samuel 18:2 ). Obed-edom, to whom David entrusted the ark when he was frustrated in bringing it into the city of David, was a [[Gittite]] ( 2 Samuel 6:11 f; 1 Chronicles 13:13 ).
