Verse 16
Therefore thus saith the Lord God ,.... Because of such wretched malice and despiteful usage:
behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines ; as is foretold, Jeremiah 47:1 ,
and I will cut off the Cherethims : one of the tribes of the Philistines, a principal part of their country, which lay to the south, 1 Samuel 30:14 , there is a beautiful play on words F9 in the Hebrew:
and destroy the remnant of the seacoast ; as that of Ashdod, Caphtor, and Ashkelon, formerly spoiled by other persons; what they left should now be utterly destroyed; see Isaiah 20:1 .
Be the first to react on this!
