He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines and as far as the border of Egypt.

Some of the Philistines also brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat, and the Arabs brought him flocks: 7,700 rams and 7,700 male goats.

The Lord put it into the mind of the Philistines and the Arabs who live near the Cushites to attack Jehoram.

Uzziah went out to wage war against the Philistines, and he tore down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod. Then he built cities in the vicinity of Ashdod and among the Philistines.

God helped him against the Philistines, the Arabs that live in Gur-baal, and the Meunites.

The Philistines also raided the cities of the Judean foothills and the Negev of Judah and captured Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco and its villages, Timnah and its villages, Gimzo and its villages, and they lived there.
