There came some from Sichem and from Silo and from Samaria, fourscore men, with their beards shaven and their clothes rent and mourning: and they had offerings and incense in their hand, to offer in the house of the Lord.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will stretch forth my hand upon the Philistines and will kill the killers and will destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
Because of the coming of the day in which all the Philistines shall be laid waste, and Tyre and Sidon shall be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord hath wasted the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Cappadocia.
The house is gone up, and Dibon to the high places, to mourn over Nabo: and over Medaba Moab hath howled. On all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shall be shaven.
Both the great and the little shall die in the land. They shall not be buried nor lamented: and men shall not cut themselves nor make themselves bald for them.
