Garrison. The Hebrew words so rendered in the Authorized Version are derivatives from the root natsab, to "place, erect", which may be applied to a variety of objects.
1. Mattsab and mattsabah undoubtedly mean a "garrison" or fortified post. 1 Samuel 13:23; 1 Samuel 14:14; 1 Samuel 15; 2 Samuel 23:14.
2. Netsib is also used for a "garrison" in 1 Chronicles 11:16, but elsewhere for a "column" erected in an enemy's country as a token of conquest. 1 Samuel 13:3.
3. The same word elsewhere means "officers" placed over a vanquished people. 2 Samuel 8:6; 2 Samuel 8:14; 1 Chronicles 18:13; 2 Chronicles 17:2.
4. Mattsebah in Ezekiel 26:11 means a "pillar".
