“Ashkelon will see it, and fear;Gaza also, and will writhe in agony;as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed;and the king will perish from Gaza,and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.”
Zechariah 9:5 (WEB)
Context Reading
3Tyre built herself a stronghold,and heaped up silver like the dust,and fine gold like the mire of the streets. 4Behold, the Lord will dispossess her,and he will strike her power in the sea;and she will be devoured with fire. 5Ashkelon will see it, and fear;Gaza also, and will writhe in agony;as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed;and the king will perish from Gaza,and Ashkelon will not be inhabited. 6Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod,and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 7I will take away his blood out of his mouth,and his abominations from between his teeth;and he also will be a remnant for our God;and he will be as a chieftain in Judah,and Ekron as a Jebusite.
