{Judges 1:18} Also Judah 3063 took 3920 z8799 x853 Gaza 5804 with x853 the coast 1366 thereof, and Askelon 831 with the coast 1366 thereof, and Ekron 6138 with the coast 1366 thereof.
"There was none¹ of the Anakimsª leftª° in the landª of the childrenª of Israel:ª only¹ in Gaza,ª in Gath,ª and in Ashdod,ª there remained.ª°" {Jsh 11:22} + "From¹ Sihor,ª which¹ [is] beforeª¹ Egypt,ª even unto¹ the bordersª of Ekronª northward,ª [which] is countedª° to the Canaanite:ª fiveª lordsª of the Philistines;ª the Gazathites,ª and the Ashdothites,ª the Eshkalonites,ª the Gittites,ª and the Ekronites;ª also the Avites:²¹" {Jsh 13:3} + "Ekron,ª with her townsª and her villages:ª ... Ashdodª with her townsª and her villages,ª Gazaª with her townsª and her villages,ª unto¹ the riverª of Egypt,ª and the greatª°² sea,ª and the borderª [thereof]:" {Jsh 15:45-47} + "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 6:17}
Also Judah:
There is the following remarkable variation here in the Septuagint:
Και ουκ εκληρονομησεν Ιουδας την Γαζαν, ουδε τα ορια αυτης; ουδε την Ασκαλωνα, ουδε τα ορια αυτης; και την Ακκαρων, ουδε τα ορια αυτης; την Αζωτον, ουδε τα περισπορια αυτης.
"But Judah did not possess Gaza, nor the coasts thereof; nor Askelon, nor the coasts thereof; nor Ekron, nor the coasts thereof; nor Ashdod, nor the coasts thereof." Procopius and Augustine read the same; and Josephus (Ant. 1. v. c. 2 sec. 4) says that the Israelites only took Askelon and Ashdod, but not Gaza or Ekron; and from "[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}, and the whole succeeding history, it appears that these cities were not in the possession of the Israelites, but of the Philistines.
Gaza:
"[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 went²°¹ Samsonª to Gaza,ª and sawª° there¹ an harlot,ªª° and went inª° unto¹ her. ... [And it was told] the Gazites,ª saying,ª° Samsonª is comeª° hither.¹ And they compassed¹ [him] in,²° and laid waitª° for him all¹ nightª in the gateª of the city,ª and were quietª° all¹ the night,ª saying,ª° In the morning,ª when¹ it is day,ª we shall killª° him." {Jdg 16:1-2} + "But the Philistinesª tookª° him, and put outª°¹ his eyes,ª and brought him downª°¹ to Gaza,ª and boundª° him with fetters of brass;ª and he did¹ grindª° in the prison²°¹ house.ª" {Jdg 16:21} + "And I will setª°¹ thy boundsª from the Red² seaª¹¹ even unto¹ the seaª of the Philistines,ª and from the desertª¹ unto¹ the river:ª for¹ I will deliverª°¹ the inhabitantsª° of the landª into your hand;ª and thou shalt drive them outª° beforeª¹ thee." {Exd 23:31}
