Easton's Bible Dictionary

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.
