Also Judah.

There is the following remarkable variation here in the Septuagint: [Kai ouk ekl�onom�en Ioudas t� Gazan, oude ta horia aut�; oude t� Askal�a, oude ta horia aut�; kai t� Akkar�, oude ta horia aut�; t� Az�on, oude ta perisporia aut�.]

"But Judah did not possess Gaza, nor the coasts thereof; nor Askelon, nor the coasts thereof; nor Ekron, nor the coasts thereof; nor Ashdod, nor the coasts thereof." Procopius and Augustine read the same; and Josephus (Ant. 1. v. c. 2) says that the Israelites only took Askelon and Ashdod, but not Gaza or Ekron; and from Judg 3:3, and the whole succeeding history, it appears that these cities were not in the possession of the Israelites, but of the Philistines.

Gaza.
