In the year that Tartan came to Ashdoḏ
And the sovereign of Ashshur sent the Tartan, and the Raḇ
And he went out and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Yaḇ
“Howl, O gate! Cry, O city! Melt away, all you of Philistia! For smoke shall come from the north, and there is no stranger in his ranks.”
and all the mixed multitude, and all the sovereigns of the land of Uts, and all the sovereigns of the land of the Philistines – even Ashqelon, and Azzah, and Eqron, and the remnant of Ashdoḏ
“And I shall cut off the inhabitant from Ashdoḏ
There were none of the Anaqim left in the land of the children of Yisra’ĕ
And the Philistines took the ark of Elohim and brought it from Eḇ
And these are the gold tumours which the Philistines returned as a guilt offering to יהוה : one for Ashdoḏ
