Strong's Lexicon Gath: Gath Original Word: גַּת Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "winepress" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Gath, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, references to Philistine cities in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) would use transliterations of the Hebrew names. Usage: Gath is one of the five major Philistine cities mentioned in the Bible. It is often associated with the Philistines and is known as the hometown of Goliath, the giant warrior defeated by David. The name "Gath" itself suggests a place associated with wine production, possibly indicating a region known for its vineyards and winepresses. Cultural and Historical Background: Gath was a significant city in the Philistine pentapolis, which also included Ashdod, Ashkelon, Ekron, and Gaza. The Philistines were a seafaring people who settled along the coastal regions of Canaan. Gath's strategic location made it a focal point in the conflicts between the Israelites and the Philistines. Archaeological evidence suggests that Gath was a fortified city with a rich cultural and military history.
