  Garrison
     (1.) Heb. matstsab, a station; a place where one stands (1 Sam.
     14:12); a military or fortified post (1 Sam. 13:23; 14:1, 4, 6,
     etc.).
     
       (2.) Heb. netsib, a prefect, superintendent; hence a military
     post (1 Sam. 10:5; 13:3, 4; 2 Sam. 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 Ezek. 26:11; correctly in Revised
     Version "pillars," marg. "obelisks," probably an idolatrous
     image.
