Zechariah 9:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, and Gaza also shall be very sorrowful, and Ekron: for her countenance shall be ashamed, and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 And the [a]stranger shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his [b]teeth: but he that remaineth, even he shall be for our God, and he shall be as a prince in Judah, but [c]Ekron shall be as a Jebusite.
