8. Ashdod, c.—Gath alone is not mentioned of the five chief Philistine cities. It had already been subdued by David and it, as well as Ashdod, was taken by Uzziah ( 2 Chronicles 26:6 ). Gath perhaps had lost its position as one of the five primary cities before Amos uttered this prophecy, whence arose his omission of it. So Zephaniah 2:4 ; Zephaniah 2:5 . Compare Jeremiah 47:4 ; Ezekiel 25:16 . Subsequently to the subjugation of the Philistines by Uzziah, and then by Hezekiah, they were reduced by Psammetichus of Egypt, Nebuchadnezzar, the Persians, Alexander, and lastly the Asmoneans. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-9" class="com-number"
