Also Judah took Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory.

And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, as far as Gaza, and left no sustenance in Israel, as well as sheep, or ox, or donkey.

Samson went to Gaza, and saw a prostitute there, and went in to her.

The Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes. And they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with bronze shackles, and he ground at the mill in the prison.
