Zechariah 9:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Ashkelon will see it and become afraid.
    Gaza will groan with pain.
    So will Ekron. Its hope will vanish.
Gaza will no longer have a king.
    Ashkelon will be deserted.
⁶ A people who come from several nations will take over Ashdod.
    The Lord says, “I will put an end to the pride of the Philistines.
⁷ They will no longer drink the blood of their animal sacrifices.
    I will remove the ‘unclean’ food from between their teeth.
The Philistines who are left will belong to our God.
    They will become a family group in Judah.
And Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
    So the Philistines will become part of Israel.
