And the Philistines H6430 took H3947 the ark H727 of God, H430 and brought H935 it from Ebenezer H72 to Ashdod. H795

And he went H3318 forth H3318 and warred H3898 against the Philistines, H6430 and broke H6555 down the wall H2346 of Gath, H1661 and the wall H2346 of Jabneh, H2996 and the wall H2346 of Ashdod, H795 and built H1129 cities H5892 about Ashdod, H795 and among the Philistines. H6430

And all H3605 the mingled H6154 people, and all H3605 the kings H4428 of the land H776 of Uz, H5780 and all H3605 the kings H4428 of the land H776 of the Philistines, H6430 and Ashkelon, H831 and Azzah, H5804 and Ekron, H6138 and the remnant H7611 of Ashdod, H795

And a bastard H4464 shall dwell H3427 in Ashdod, H795 and I will cut H3772 off the pride H1347 of the Philistines. H6430

Then went H3212 Samson H8123 to Gaza, H5804 and saw H7200 there H8033 an harlot, H2181 and went H935 in to her.

But the Philistines H6430 took H270 him, and put H5365 out his eyes, H5869 and brought H3381 him down H3381 to Gaza, H5804 and bound H631 him with fetters H5178 of brass; H5178 and he did grind H2912 in the prison H631 house. H1004

But I will send H7971 a fire H784 on the wall H2346 of Gaza, H5804 which shall devour H398 the palaces H759 thereof:

And I will cut H3772 off the inhabitant H3427 from Ashdod, H795 and him that holds H8551 the scepter H7626 from Ashkelon, H831 and I will turn H7725 my hand H3027 against H5921 Ekron: H6138 and the remnant H7611 of the Philistines H6430 shall perish, H6 said H559 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069

Also Judah H3063 took H3920 Gaza H5804 with the coast H1366 thereof, and Askelon H831 with the coast H1366 thereof, and Ekron H6138 with the coast H1366 thereof.

Ashkelon H831 shall see H7200 it, and fear; H3372 Gaza H5804 also shall see it, and be very H3966 sorrowful, H2342 and Ekron; H6138 for her expectation H4007 shall be ashamed; H954 and the king H4428 shall perish H6 from Gaza, H5804 and Ashkelon H831 shall not be inhabited. H3427

They sent H7971 therefore and gathered H622 all H3605 the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 to them, and said, H559 What H4100 shall we do H6213 with the ark H727 of the God H430 of Israel? H3478 And they answered, H559 Let the ark H727 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 be carried H5437 about H5437 to Gath. H1661 And they carried H5437 the ark H727 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 about H5437 thither.

Tell H5046 it not in Gath, H1661 publish H1319 it not in the streets H2351 of Askelon; H831 lest H6435 the daughters H1323 of the Philistines H6430 rejoice, H8055 lest H6435 the daughters H1323 of the uncircumcised H6189 triumph. H5937

These H428 four H702 were born H3205 to the giant H7497 in Gath, H1661 and fell H5307 by the hand H3027 of David, H1732 and by the hand H3027 of his servants. H5650

Pass H5674 you to Calneh, H3641 and see; H7200 and from there H8033 go H3212 you to Hamath H2579 the great: H7227 then go H3381 down H3381 to Gath H1661 of the Philistines: H6430 be they better H2896 than H4480 these H428 kingdoms? H4467 or their border H1366 greater H7227 than your border? H1366

Therefore they sent H7971 the ark H727 of God H430 to Ekron. H6138 And it came H1961 to pass, as the ark H727 of God H430 came H935 to Ekron, H6138 that the Ekronites H6139 cried H2199 out, saying, H559 They have brought H5437 about H5437 the ark H727 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 to us, to slay H4191 us and our people. H5971

And Ahaziah H274 fell H5307 down through H1157 a lattice H7639 in his upper H5944 chamber H5944 that was in Samaria, H8111 and was sick: H2470 and he sent H7971 messengers, H4397 and said H559 to them, Go, H3212 inquire H1875 of Baalzebub H1176 the god H430 of Ekron H6138 whether H518 I shall recover H2421 of this H2088 disease. H2483

And I will cut H3772 off the inhabitant H3427 from Ashdod, H795 and him that holds H8551 the scepter H7626 from Ashkelon, H831 and I will turn H7725 my hand H3027 against H5921 Ekron: H6138 and the remnant H7611 of the Philistines H6430 shall perish, H6 said H559 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
