Methegammah. [Meth'eg-am'mah]
Place taken from the Philistines. 2 Samuel 8:1. The corresponding account in 1 Chronicles 18:1 has 'Gath and her towns' (lit. daughters). The signification of the name in Samuel is much disputed. Gesenius and Fürst interpret it 'bridle of the mother-city.' This would well agree with 'Gath and her daughter towns.'
