- "[Namely], fiveª lordsª of the Philistines,ª and all¹ the Canaanites,ª and the Sidonians,ª and the Hivitesª that dweltª° in mountª Lebanon,ª from mountª¹ Baalhermonª unto¹ the entering inª° of Hamath.ª" {Jdg 3:3} + "Then saidª° they, What¹ [shall be] the trespass offeringª which¹ we shall returnª° to him? They answered,ª° Fiveª goldenª emerods,ª²° and fiveª goldenª mice,ª [according to] the numberª of the lordsª of the Philistines:ª for¹ oneª plagueª [was] on you all,¹ and on your lords.ª" {1Sm 6:4} + "And when the fiveª lordsª of the Philistinesª had seenª° [it], they returnedª° to Ekronª the same¹ day.ª ... And these¹ [are] the goldenª emerodsª which¹ the Philistinesª returnedª° [for] a trespass offeringª unto the LORD;ª for Ashdodª one,ª for Gazaª one,ª for Askelonª one,ª for Gathª one,ª for Ekronª one;ª" {1Sm 6:16-17} + "For¹ Gazaª shall be¹ forsaken,ª° and Ashkelonª a desolation:ª they shall drive outª° Ashdodª at the noon day,ª and Ekronª shall be rooted up.ª° ...
