SCRIPTURE
"And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took the bridle of the mother city out of the hand of the Philistines." — 2 Samuel 8:1 (ASV)
Metheg-ammah must be the name of some stronghold that commanded Gath, and its capture made David master of Gath and its towns.
