2 This is the land yet remaining:+ all the regions of the Phi·lisʹtines+ and all the Geshʹur·ites+

3 Now these are the nations+ that Jehovah let stay so as by them to test+ Israel, that is, all those who had not experienced any of the wars of Caʹnaan;+

3 The five axis lords*+ of the Phi·lisʹtines,+ and all the Caʹnaan·ites,+ even the Si·doʹni·ans+ and the Hiʹvites+ inhabiting Mount Lebʹa·non+ from Mount Baʹal-herʹmon+ as far as to the entering in of Haʹmath.*+

16 “Tomorrow about this time I shall send to you a man from the land of Benjamin,+ and you must anoint+ him as leader over my people Israel; and he must save my people from the hand of the Phi·lisʹtines,+ because I have seen [the affliction of] my people,* for their outcry has come to me.”+

52 And the warfare continued heavy against the Phi·lisʹtines all the days of Saul.+ When Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant person, he would gather him to himself.+

7 “‘Are YOU not like the sons of the Cushʹites* to me, O sons of Israel?’ is the utterance of Jehovah. ‘Did I not bring Israel itself up out of the land of Egypt,+ and the Phi·lisʹtines+ out of Crete,* and Syria* out of Kir?’*+
