And I will destroy the one that sits \{on the throne\} in Ashdod. {\cf2\super [15]} I will destroy the king that holds the scepter in Ashkelon. {\cf2\super [16]} I will punish the people of Ekron. {\cf2\super [17]} Then the Philistines that are still left alive, will die.” The Lord God said those things.
