It came to the two-horned ram that I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed against it with raging strength. I saw it approaching the ram.

No one could deliver the ram from its power.read more.

Tyre built herself a fortification and piled up silver like dust and gold like the mud of the streets!read more.

A mongrel people will live in Ashdod, for I will greatly humiliate the Philistines. I will take away their abominable religious practices; then those who survive will become a community of believers in our God, like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites. Then I will surround my temple to protect it like a guard from anyone crossing back and forth; so no one will cross over against them anymore as an oppressor, for now I myself have seen it.
