1 Samuel 21:9-10
The sword 1Sam 17:51-54 the valley 1Sam 17:2, 1Sam 17:50 behold 1Sam 31:10 behind Exod 28:6-14 fled 1Sam 27:1; 1Kgs 19:3; Jer 26:21 Achish or, Abimelech, 1Sam 27:2; Ps 34:1 *title Gath Jerome says there was a large town called Gath, in the way from Eleutheropolis to Gaza; and Eusebius speaks of another Gath, five miles from Eleutheropolis, towards Lydda (and consequently different from that mentioned by Jerome); and also of another Gath, between Jamnia and Antipatris. It appears to have been the extreme boundary of the Philistine territory in one direction, as Ekron was on the other (1Sam 7:14; 1Sam 17:52), and lay near Mareshah (2Chr 11:8. Mic 1:14), which agrees pretty well with the position assigned it by Jerome. But Reland and Dr. Wells agree with Eusebius; and the authors of the Universal History (b. i. c. 7) place it about six miles form Jamnia, fourteen south of Joppa, and thirty-two west of Jerusalem.
