16 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Here I am stretching out my hand against the Phi·lisʹtines,+ and I will cut off the Cherʹe·thites+ and destroy the rest of the seacoast.+

8 And I will cut off [the] inhabitant from Ashʹdod,+ and the holder of [the] scepter from Ashʹke·lon;+ and I will turn my hand back+ upon Ekʹron,+ and the remaining ones* of the Phi·lisʹtines must perish,”+ the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said.’
