- "Rejoiceª° not¹ thou, whole¹ Palestina,ª because¹ the rodª of him that¹ smoteª° thee is broken:ª° for out of the serpent's² rootª¹¹ shall come forthª° a cockatrice,ª and his fruitª [shall be] a fiery²° flying²° serpent.ª¹ ... Howl,ª° O gate;ª cry,ª° O city;ª thou, whole¹ Palestina,ª [art] dissolved:ª° for¹ there shall comeª° from the northª¹ a smoke,ª and none¹ [shall be] aloneª° in his appointed times.ª" {Isa 14:29-31} + "The wordª of the LORDª that¹ came¹ to¹ Jeremiahª the prophetª against¹ the Philistines,ª before¹ that Pharaohª smoteª°¹ Gaza.ª" {Jer 47:1} + "Because of¹ the dayª that comethª° to spoilª°¹ all¹ the Philistines,ª [and] to cut offª° from Tyrusª and Zidonª every¹ helperª° that remaineth:ª for¹ the LORDª will spoilª°¹ the Philistines,ª the remnantª of the countryª of Caphtor.ª ... How¹ can it be quiet,ª° seeing the LORDª hath given it a chargeª° against¹ Ashkelon,ª and against¹ the seaª shore?ª there¹ hath he appointedª° it." {Jer 47:4-7} + "Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Because¹ the Philistinesª have dealtª° by revenge,ª and have takenª° vengeanceª with a despitefulª heart,ª to destroyª [it] for the oldª hatred;ª ... And I will executeª° greatª vengeanceª upon them with furiousª rebukes;ª and they shall knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD,ª when I shall layª°¹ my vengeanceª upon them." {Ezk 25:15-17} + "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° ... And the coastª shall be¹ for the remnantª of the houseª of Judah;ª they shall feedª° thereupon:¹ in the housesª of Ashkelonª shall they lie downª° in the evening:ª for¹ the LORDª their Godª shall visitª° them, and turn awayª° their captivity.ª°" {Zph 2:4-7} + "Andª the angelª of the Lordª spakeª° untoª Philip,ª saying,ª° Arise,ª° andª goª° towardª the southª untoª the¹ wayª that goeth downª° fromª Jerusalemª untoª Gaza,ª whichª isª° desert.ª" {Act 8:26}
