On seeing this, Ashkelon will be terrified;
‘Azah too will writhe in pain;
likewise ‘Ekron, as her hopes are dashed.

“The king will vanish from ‘Azah,
Ashkelon will be without people,
and a mixed people will live in Ashdod,
as I destroy the pride of the P’lishtim.
I will end their eating meat with its blood still in it,
snatching the disgusting things from between their teeth.”

it will be like a clan in Y’hudah;
and ‘Ekron will be like a Y’vusi.

Ashkelon(A) 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.
A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,
    and I will put an end(B) to the pride of the Philistines.
I will take the blood from their mouths,
    the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God(C)
    and become a clan in Judah,
    and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.(D)
