From the Shihor, which is before Egypt, to the edge of Ekron to the north, which is taken to be Canaanite property: the five chiefs of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, as well as the Avvim;
And Elon and Timnah and Ekron
Then Judah took gaza and its limit, and Ashkelon and its limit, and ekron and its limit.
And after him, Elon the Zebulonite was judge of Israel; and he was judge of Israel for ten years.

... the son of Deker in Makaz and Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh and Elonbeth-hanan;

How is it possible for it to be quiet, seeing that the Lord has given it orders? against Ashkelon and against the sea-land he has given it directions.
Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.
