Ashdod with her towns and, her villages, Gaza with her towns and her villages,…. Gaza was another of the principalities of the Philistines, of which [See comments on Am 1:7];
[See comments on Zep 2:4];
[See comments on Ac 8:26]; these, with the two other principalities not mentioned, Gath and Ashkelon, were in the western border of the tribe of Judah, which reached from Ekron, the first that is mentioned,
unto the river of Egypt; of which see Jos 15:4;
and the great sea, and the border [thereof]; the Mediterranean sea, called so in comparison of the lesser seas in Judea, the salt sea, and the sea of Tiberias; whose border was its shore, and the cities upon it, and not the isles in the sea, as Jarchi.

47. Ashdod and Gaza See on Jos 11:22; Jos 10:41. These cities of the Philistines are thus aggregated, because they were not conquered.
