Gittites [1]
git´ı̄ts ( גּתּים , גּתּי , gittı̄m , plural of gittı̄ ): 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 ). The Gittites seem to have been remarkable for their great stature ( 2 Samuel 21:19; 1 Chronicles 20:5 ).
