Garrison:
(1.) Heb. matstsab, a station; a place where one stands (1Sa 14:12); a military or fortified post (1Sa 13:23; 14:1,4,6, etc.).
(2.) Heb. netsib, a prefect, superintendent; hence a military post (1Sa 10:5; 13:3,4; 2Sa 8:6). This word has also been explained to denote a pillar set up to mark the Philistine conquest, or an officer appointed to collect taxes; but the idea of a military post seems to be the correct one.
(3.) Heb. matstsebah, properly a monumental column; improperly rendered pl. "garrisons" in Eze 26:11; correctly in Revised Version "pillars," marg. "obelisks," probably an idolatrous image.
Garrison: A Guard, Watch or Patrol.
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a GARRISON, desirous to apprehend me: and through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands. (2 Corinthians 11:32)
Garrison:
For GARRISON see GUARD, B, No. 3
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; 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; 8:14; 1 Chronicles 18:13; 2 Chronicles 17:2).
(4.) Mattsebah in Ezekiel 26:11 means a "pillar."
