from the Philistines.
They will regain the lands of Ephraim and Samaria.

But at that time they will take the land of the Canaanites.
They will take it all the way to Zarephath.
People from Judah were once forced to leave Jerusalem
and live in Sepharad.
But at that time they will take back

And the kingdom will belong to the Lord.
