This is the Lord’s message to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines of Gaza, before it was captured by the Egyptian army.This is what the Lord says:“ A flood is coming from the north to overflow the land. It will destroy the land and everything in it— cities and people alike. People will scream in terror, and everyone in the land will wail.Hear the clatter of stallions’ hooves and the rumble of wheels as the chariots rush by. Terrified fathers run madly, without a backward glance at their helpless children.“ The time has come for the Philistines to be destroyed, along with their allies from Tyre and Sidon. Yes, the Lord is destroying the remnant of the Philistines, those colonists from the island of Crete.Gaza will be humiliated, its head shaved bald; Ashkelon will lie silent. You remnant from the Mediterranean coast, how long will you cut yourselves in mourning?“ Now, O sword of the Lord, when will you be at rest again? Go back into your sheath; rest and be still.“ But how can it be still when the Lord has sent it on a mission? For the city of Ashkelon and the people living along the sea must be destroyed.”

Gaza and Ashkelon will be abandoned, Ashdod and Ekron torn down.And what sorrow awaits you Philistines who live along the coast and in the land of Canaan, for this judgment is against you, too!

They will rest at night in the abandoned houses in Ashkelon. For the Lord their God will visit his people in kindness and restore their prosperity again.

Nehemiah 13:23-27
About the same time I realized that some of the men of Judah had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.Furthermore, half their children spoke the language of Ashdod or of some other people and could not speak the language of Judah at all.So I confronted them and called down curses on them. I beat some of them and pulled out their hair. I made them swear in the name of God that they would not let their children intermarry with the pagan people of the land.“ Wasn’t this exactly what led King Solomon of Israel into sin?” I demanded.“ There was no king from any nation who could compare to him, and God loved him and made him king over all Israel. But even he was led into sin by his foreign wives.How could you even think of committing this sinful deed and acting unfaithfully toward God by marrying foreign women?”

Gaza’s king will be killed, and Ashkelon will be deserted.Foreigners will occupy the city of Ashdod. I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.I will grab the bloody meat from their mouths and snatch the detestable sacrifices from their teeth.
