From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Garrison
    (1.) Heb. matstsab, a station; a place where one stands (1 Sam.
    14:12); a military or fortified post (1 Sam. 13:23; 14:1, 4, 6,
    etc.).
      (2.) Heb. netsib, a prefect, superintendent; hence a military
    post (1 Sam. 10:5; 13:3, 4; 2 Sam. 8:6). This word has also been
    explained to denote a pillar set up to mark the Philistine
    conquest, or an officer appointed to collect taxes; but the idea
    of a military post seems to be the correct one.
      (3.) Heb. matstsebah, properly a monumental column; improperly
    rendered pl. "garrisons" in Ezek. 26:11; correctly in Revised
    Version "pillars," marg. "obelisks," probably an idolatrous
    image.
