Gittaim

Gittaim ("two winepresses") was a Benjaminite town where surviving Beerothites took refuge after King Saul violated Israel's ancient treaty with the Gibeonites and slaughtered many of them (2 Samuel 4:3, 21:1-2). The flight to Gittaim provides the background to Rechab and Baanah, the Beerothite captains of Ish-bosheth's army who murdered the Benjaminite king and brought his head to David expecting reward — and were promptly executed by David instead. Gittaim was later repopulated in the post-exile period when the returnees from Babylon settled the central Benjaminite hill country (Nehemiah 11:31-35).
