Me'theg-am'mah. (bridle of the metropolis). A place, which David took from the Philistines, apparently, in his last war with them. 2 Samuel 8:1. Ammah may be taken as meaning "mother-city" or "metropolis", compare 2 Samuel 20:19, and Metheg-he-Ammah may mean "the bridle of the mother-city" - namely, of Gath, the chief town of the Philistines.
