Dict: easton - Garrison

easton:

Garrison @

(1.) Heb. matstsab, a station; a place where one stands ( kjv@1Samuel:14:12); a military or fortified post ( kjv@1Samuel:13:23 kjv@1Samuel:14:1 kjv@1Samuel:14:4, 6, etc.).

(2.) Heb. netsib, a prefect, superintendent; hence a military post ( kjv@1Samuel:10:5 kjv@1Samuel:13:3-4; kjv@2Samuel: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 kjv@Ezekiel:26:11; correctly in Revised Version "pillars," marg. "obelisks," probably an idolatrous image.
