Strong's Lexicon Gittith: Gittith Original Word: גִּתִּית Word Origin: Derived from גַּת (Gath), a Philistine city known for its winepresses. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Gittith" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term related to musical notation. Usage: The term "Gittith" is traditionally understood to refer to a musical term or instrument associated with the city of Gath. It appears in the titles of several Psalms and is thought to indicate a specific style or tune, possibly linked to the joyous or celebratory nature of the music from Gath. Cultural and Historical Background: Gath was one of the five major Philistine cities and was renowned for its wine production. The association of "Gittith" with Gath suggests a cultural exchange between the Israelites and the Philistines, particularly in the realm of music. The use of Philistine musical terms in Hebrew worship indicates a blending of cultural elements, which was not uncommon in the ancient Near East.
