git.ta.yim is used as a proper place name, both as a destination for fugitives and in a list of settlements.

The attested uses present git.ta.yim as a proper place name: it is the destination where Beerothites live as sojourners in 2 Samuel 4:3 and appears among settlement names in Nehemiah 11:33.

Senses in use

  1. A named settlement or destination · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 2 Samuel 4:3, the form occurs as the place to which the Beerothites fled and where they lived as sojourners; the APB renders the clause "The Beerothites fled to Gittaim and lived there as sojourners until this day." In Nehemiah 11:33, it occurs in a sequence of place names; the APB renders "Hazor, Ramah, and Gittaim."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "Gittaim" in both verses: once in a narrative destination clause and once in a list of place names. It confirms the place-name presentation without further lexical detail.
