Judges 1:18

18 And Judah seized Gaza, with its parts, and Ashkelon as well as Ekron, with their borders. ^{▼▼1:18 Gaza, etc: These were three of the principal cities of the Philistines, famous both in sacred and profane history. They were taken at this time by the Israelites: but as they took no care to put garrisons in them, the Philistines soon recovered them.(Challoner)}
