Here is what the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia says:
"The inhabitants of Gath. They are mentioned along with the
inhabitants of the other chief Philistine cities in Josh 13:3. It
would seem that numbers of them emigrated to Judah, for we find 600 of
them acting as a bodyguard to David with Ittai at their head (2 Sam
15:18ff; 18:2). Obed-edom, to whom David entrusted the ark when he was
frustrated in bringing it into the city of David, was a Gittite (2 Sam
6:11 f; 1 Ch 13:13). The Gittites seem to have been remarkable for
their great stature (2 Sam 21:19; 1 Ch 20:5ff)"
