GITTAIM

(Heb. gittāyim)

A town (Heb. “pair of winepresses”) where Amorite inhabitants of Beeroth received permanent refuge (2 Sam. 4:3), either from Saulide hostilities against towns allied with Gibeon (21:2; Josh. 9) or from Saul in revenge for the murder of his son Ishbosheth by descendants of the Beerothite Rimmon (2 Sam. 4:2). Its location is uncertain. Some scholars prefer an identification near Beeroth in the tribal territory of Benjamin, but others prefer Gath, NW of Aijalon, where the nearby Philistine presence would have provided protection from Saul. Gittaim was inhabited after the Exile (Neh. 11:33).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
