Gittaim [EBD]
two wine-presses, (2 Sam. 4:3; Neh. 11:33), a town probably in Benjamin to which the Beerothites fled.
GITTAIM [ISBE]
GITTAIM - git'-a-im (gittayim): The town to which the Beerothites tied, and where they lived as gerim, or protected strangers (2 Sam 4:3). The place need not have been beyond the boundaries of Benjamin, so it may be identical with Gittaim of Neh 11:33, which was occupied by Benjamites after the exile. It is named with Hazor and Ramah; but so far the site has not been discovered.
