Zechariah 9:5-7
New King James Version
5 Ashkelon shall see it and fear;
Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;
And (A)Ekron, for He dried up her expectation.
The king shall perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 “A[a] mixed race shall settle (B)in Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the (C)Philistines.
7 I will take away the blood from his mouth,
And the abominations from between his teeth.
But he who remains, even he shall be for our God,
And shall be like a leader in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.

Zephaniah 2:4-7
New King James Version
Judgment on Nations
4 For (A)Gaza shall be forsaken,
And Ashkelon desolate;
They shall drive out Ashdod (B)at noonday,
And Ekron shall be uprooted.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of (C)the seacoast,
The nation of the Cherethites!
The word of the Lord is against you,
O (D)Canaan, land of the Philistines:
“I will destroy you;
So there shall be no inhabitant.”
6 The seacoast shall be pastures,
With [a]shelters for shepherds (E)and folds for flocks.
7 The coast shall be for (F)the remnant of the house of Judah;
They shall feed their flocks there;
In the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening.
For the Lord their God will (G)intervene[b] for them,
And (H)return their captives.

Amos 1:6-8
New King James Version
6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (A)Gaza, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they took captive the whole captivity
To deliver them up to Edom.
7 (B)But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza,
Which shall devour its palaces.
8 I will cut off the inhabitant (C)from Ashdod,
And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will (D)turn My hand against Ekron,
And (E)the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.
