Word | American Tract Society - Definition |
GITTITH | The word Gittish signifies belonging to Gath. It probably denotes either a musical instrument or a kind of music derived from Gath, where David sojourned for a time during the persecution of Saul, 1Sa 27:1-7. The word Gath also signifies in Hebrew a winepress. Hence not a few have supposed that it denotes either an instrument or a melody used in the vintage. It is prefixed to Ps 8:1-9; 81:1- 16; 84:1-12, all of which requires an animated strain of music. |
