Tower. Watch-towers, or fortified posts, in frontier, or exposed situations, are mentioned in Scripture, as the tower of Edar, etc., Genesis 35:21; Isaiah 21:5; Isaiah 21:8; Isaiah 21:11 Micah 4:8; etc.; the tower of Lebanon. 2 Samuel 8:6. Besides these military structures, we read in Scripture, of towers built in vineyards, as an almost necessary appendage to them. 1 Samuel 5:2; Matthew 22:33; Mark 12:1. Such towers are still in use in Palestine, in vineyards, especially near Hebron, and are used as lodges, for the keepers of the vineyards.
