fled: Sa1 27:1; Kg1 19:3; Jer 26:21 Achish: or, Abimelech, Sa1 27:2; Psa 34:1 \*title Gath: Jerome says there was a large town called Gath, in the way from Eleutheropolis to Gaza; and Eusebius speaks of another Gath, five miles from Eleutheropolis, towards Lydda (and consequently different from that mentioned by Jerome); and also of another Gath, between Jamnia and Antipatris. It appears to have been the extreme boundary of the Philistine territory in one direction, as Ekron was on the other ( Sa1 7:14; Sa1 17:52), and lay near Mareshah ( Ch2 11:8. Mic 1:14), which agrees pretty well with the position assigned it by Jerome. But Reland and Dr. Wells agree with Eusebius; and the authors of the Universal History (b. i. c. 7) place it about six miles form Jamnia, fourteen south of Joppa, and thirty-two west of Jerusalem. 1 Kings (1 Samuel) 21:11
