Garrison

VIEW:16 DATA:01-04-2020
Put in military posts to keep possession of a conquered country, as the Philistines held the land of Israel at the beginning of Saul's reign (1Sa_10:5; 1Sa_13:3); David, Syria (2Sa_8:6; 2Sa_8:14). In Eze_26:11, "thy strong garrisons" (matzeboth uzzeek) literally, "the statues of thy strength", i.e. the forts. Or rather (Maurer), the obelisks in honor of the tutelary gods of Tyre (as Melecarte, the Tyrian Hercules whose temple stood in Old Tyre) shall go down to the ground before Nebuchadnezzar, the conqueror, just as he treated Egypt's idol statues (Jer_43:11).

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. 1Sa_13:23; 1Sa_14:14; 1 Samuel 15; 2Sa_23:14.
2. Netsib is also used for a "garrison" in 1Ch_11:16, but elsewhere for a "column" erected in an enemy's country as a token of conquest. 1Sa_13:3.
3. The same word elsewhere means "officers" placed over a vanquished people. 2Sa_8:6; 2Sa_8:14; 1Ch_18:13; 2Ch_17:2.
4. Mattsebah in Eze_26:11 means a "pillar".

Garrison
denoted by four or five Heb. words from the root נָצִב, natsab', to stand firm or erect (i.q. יָצִב),
1. מִצָּבmatstsab' (fem. מִצָּבָה, matstsabah', 1Sa_14:12), a station, i.e., lit. a standing-place (e.g. where the priests stood in Jordan, "place," Jos_4:3; Jos_4:9); hence a military or fortified post (e.g. the Philistine camp, 1Sa_13:23; 1Sa_14:1; 1Sa_14:4; 1Sa_14:6; 1Sa_14:11-12; 1Sa_14:15; 2Sa_23:11-14); metaph. an office or public "station" (Isa_22:19).
2. מֻצָּב, mutstsab', a cordon of troops ("mount," Isa_29:3; perhaps also "pillar," Jdg_9:6).
3. נְצִַיבּ, netsib', properly a praefect or superintendent ("officer," 1Ki_4:19; 2Ch_8:10); hence a military post (1Sa_10:5; 1Sa_13:3-4; 2Sa_8:6; 2Sa_8:14; 1Ch_11:16; 1Ch_18:13; 2Ch_17:2); also a monumental "pilla" (q.v.) or cippus (e.g., a statue of salt, Gen_19:26; a sense in which some take the word also in 1Sa_10:5; 1Sa_13:3, like the stelae erected by Sesostris in conquered countries in token of subjugation, Herod. 2:102, 106).
4. An improper rendering, Eze_26:11, of מִצְּבָה, smatstsebah', which always designates a standing object, either an architact-tsal or monumental column (usually rendered "pillar;" in the passage of Ezekiel perhaps referring to those of the Tyrian temples; comp. Herod. 2:14), or an idolatrous "image" (q.v.). SEE FORTIFICATION.
