Amos 1:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn to it, because they [a]carried away prisoners the whole captivity to shut them up in Edom.
7 Therefore will I send a fire upon the walls of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the scepter from Ashkelon, and turn mine hand to Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.
