Therefore thus saith the Lord God, &c.] Because of such wretched malice and despiteful usage: behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines; as is foretold, (<244701>Jeremiah 47:1), and I will cut off the Cherethims: one of the tribes of the Philistines, a principal part of their country, which lay to the south, (<093014>1 Samuel 30:14 <360205> Zephaniah 2:5), there is a beautiful play on wordsf405 in the Hebrew: and destroy the remnant of the seacoast; as that of Ashdod, Caphtor, and Ashkelon, formerly spoiled by other persons; what they left should now be utterly destroyed; (see <232001>Isaiah 20:1 <242520>Jeremiah 25:20 47:4,5)
