Judges 1:18

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Also Judah took Gaza, with the coast thereof,.... Which by lot fell to that tribe, Jos 15:47; it was not till now subdued:and Ashkelon with the coast thereof; which, according to our countryman Sandys , was ten miles from Gaza:and Ekron with the coast thereof; this also is the lot that fell to Judah, but was afterwards given to the tribe of Dan, Jos 15:45; for whom Judah now fought and took it; but in a short time all these places were retaken, and possessed by the Philistines, and were three of their five principalities which they ever after retained, see Jud 3:3.
