4 I will send fire on the house of Hazael that will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.
5 I will break down the gate of Damascus; I will destroy the king who is in[a] the Valley of Aven[b]and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden. The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,” says the LORD.
6 This is what the LORD says: “For three sins of Gaza, even for four, I will not relent. Because she took captive whole communities and sold them to Edom,
7 I will send fire on the walls of Gaza that will consume her fortresses.
8 I will destroy the king[c] of Ashdod and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn my hand against Ekron, till the last of the Philistines are dead,” says the Sovereign LORD.
