A native of the Philistine city of Gath (Joshua 13:3). Obed-edom, in whose house the ark was placed, is so designated (2 Samuel 6:10). Six hundred Gittites came with David from Gath into Israel (15:18, 19).

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Gittites

(belonging to Gath), the 600 men who followed David from Gath, under Ittai the Gittite, (2 Samuel 15:18,19) and who probably acted as a kind of body-guard. Obed-edom "the Gittite" may have been so named from the town of Gittaim in Benjamin, (2 Samuel 4:3; Nehemiah 11:33) or from Gath-rimmon.
