Place taken from the Philistines. 2 Samuel 8:1 . The corresponding account in 1 Chronicles 18:1 has 'Gath and her towns' ( lit. daughters). The signification of the name in Samuel is much disputed. Gesenius and Fürst interpret it 'bridle of the mother-city.' This would well agree with 'Gath and her daughter towns.'
