4 Behold, the Lord will spoil her, and he will smite her [a]power in the sea, and she shall be devoured with fire.
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, and Gaza also shall be very sorrowful, and Ekron: for her countenance shall be ashamed, and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 And the [b]stranger shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

Zechariah 9:4-6
New International Version
4 But the Lord will take away her possessions
and destroy(A) her power on the sea,
and she will be consumed by fire.(B)
5 Ashkelon(C) will see it and fear;
Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
and Ashkelon will be deserted.
6 A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,
and I will put an end(D) to the pride of the Philistines.
