⁴ So I will send down fire upon the house of Hazael,
    and it will devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
⁵ I will shatter the gate bars of Damascus,

along with the one who holds the scepter from Beth-eden;
    and the people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,”
        says the Lord.

“For three transgressions of Gaza

    and it will devour their fortified citadels;
⁸ and I will cut off the inhabitants of Ashdod,
