Zechariah 9:7

New International Reader's Version

They will no longer drink the blood of their animal sacrifices. I will remove the ‘unclean’ food from between their teeth. The Philistines who are left will belong to our God. They will become a family group in Judah. And Ekron will be like the Jebusites. So the Philistines will become part of Israel.
