Zechariah9:6

Verſe 6. But a baſtard ſhall dwell at Aſhdod] Perhaps he meaneth Alexander: In deſcrip[illegible: 1 letter]. Tur. ſan[illegible: 1 letter] who was a baſtard, by his mother Olympia's confeſſion. The Greek here hath [non-Latin text not transcribed], a ſtranger, an alien, or one of another generation, as the Greeks under Alexander, and afterwards the Jews under the Maccabees. Whence the Chaldee turnes this Text thus; The houſe of Iſrael ſhall dwell in Aſhdod, and ſhall be there as ſtrangers which have no father. In the Acts we find that the Jewes were ſcattered up and down Paleſtina, and ſome found at Azotus, or Aſhdod, chap. 8.40.

and I will cut off the pride of the Philiſtines] that is, their wealth, ſtrength, and whatſoever elſe they gloried in, and grew inſolent, and injurious to the Church.
