Amos1:8
Verſe 8. And I will cut off the inhabitant from Aſhed] Theſe other foure Satrapies of the Philiſtines (Gath is not mentioned, becauſe haply Time had now triumphed over it, ſo that it lived by fame only) were the worſe likely, and fared the worſe for Gaza's ill neighbourhood: like as Hamath did for Damaſcus Zech. 9.2.
and I will turn mine hand] Not in mercy as Zech. 13.7. but for further miſcief; I will have a double blow at Ekron, where Beelzebub the Grandiabolo is worſhipped, Iterabo plagam: and when I have done with the reſt, I will begin againe with Ekron; Acheronta movebo.
and the remnant of the Philiſtines] This is dreadfull, but due to them, and juſt upon them for their ſavage dealing with Iſrael verſe 6. This was fulfilled by Hezekiah conquering all that countrey 2 King. 18.8. See Ioſephus lib. 9. cap. 13.
