Presidio

A presidio is a garrisoned fort; military post.

Jonathan and his armorbearer attacked the Philistine garrison. (I Samuel 14:1) The seige proved succesful.

Now the day came that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was carrying his armor, "Come and let us cross over to the Philistines' garrison that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father. (I Samuel 14:1, NASB)
