Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּת (gat), meaning "winepress."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew proper noun גַּת (Gath) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific place name. However, references to Gath in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) would use a transliteration of the Hebrew name. Usage: Gath is mentioned multiple times in the Hebrew Bible as a significant Philistine city. It is known for its association with the Philistine giant Goliath and as a place of refuge for David. Context: Gath was one of the five principal cities of the Philistines, located in the region of Philistia. It is frequently mentioned in the Old Testament as a city of considerable importance. Gath is notably the home of Goliath, the giant warrior defeated by David, as recorded in 1 Samuel 17. The city is also mentioned in the context of David's flight from King Saul, where David sought refuge with Achish, the king of Gath (1 Samuel 21:10-15; 1 Samuel 27:1-4). Gath's strategic location made it a significant military and trade center. It was eventually captured by King David, as noted in 2 Samuel 8:1. The city is also referenced in the context of the Assyrian campaigns, indicating its continued importance in the region. Gath's exact location has been a subject of archaeological interest, with Tell es-Safi being a widely accepted site for ancient Gath.
