The concept of a garrison is mentioned several times throughout the Bible, primarily in the context of Israel's military engagements and territorial expansions.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>1. <b>Philistine Garrisons</b>: One of the earliest mentions of garrisons in the Bible is in the context of the Philistines, who were a constant threat to the Israelites during the period of the Judges and the early monarchy. In <a href="/1_samuel/13-3.htm">1 Samuel 13:3</a>, Jonathan, the son of King Saul, attacked a Philistine garrison at Geba, which provoked a larger conflict with the Philistines: "Jonathan attacked the Philistine garrison that was at Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. So Saul blew the trumpet throughout the land, saying, 'Let the Hebrews hear!'" .<br><br>2. <b>David's Campaigns</b>: King David, known for his military prowess, established garrisons in territories he conquered to maintain control and ensure peace. In <a href="/2_samuel/8-6.htm">2 Samuel 8:6</a>, it is recorded: "Then David placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD gave victory to David wherever he went" . This strategic placement of garrisons helped secure Israel's borders and facilitated the collection of tribute from subjugated peoples.<br><br>3. <b>Solomon's Reign</b>: During the reign of Solomon, the establishment of garrisons continued as part of the broader effort to maintain the security and prosperity of the kingdom. Although specific references to garrisons during Solomon's reign are less frequent, his extensive building projects and fortified cities imply the presence of military installations to protect his realm.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>While the New Testament does not explicitly mention garrisons in the same military sense as the Old Testament, the concept of Roman military presence is evident. The Roman Empire maintained garrisons throughout its provinces to enforce order and collect taxes. This backdrop is crucial for understanding the political and social climate during the time of Jesus and the early church.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>The presence of garrisons in the biblical narrative underscores the importance of military strength and strategic defense in the history of Israel. It reflects the reality of living in a fallen world where conflict and warfare are prevalent. The establishment of garrisons by Israelite leaders like David and Solomon highlights their role as protectors of God's chosen people and stewards of the land promised to Abraham and his descendants.<br><br>Moreover, the biblical accounts of garrisons serve as a reminder of God's sovereignty and provision. Despite the military might of surrounding nations, it was ultimately the LORD who granted victory and security to Israel. This theme is echoed in the Psalms and prophetic writings, where trust in God's protection is emphasized over reliance on human strength and fortifications.<br><br>In summary, garrisons in the Bible represent both a practical military necessity and a theological symbol of God's providential care for His people. They illustrate the tension between human efforts and divine intervention in the unfolding account of redemption.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div><p>(1.)
