Zechariah 9:3 Context
1The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall bee the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel shalbe toward the Lord. 2And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus and Zidon, though it be very wise. 3And Tyrus did builde her selfe a strong hold, and heaped vp siluer as the dust, and fine golde as the myre of the streets. 4Behold, the Lord wil cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea, and she shalbe deuoured with fire. 5Ashkelon shall see it, and feare, Gaza also shall see it and be very sorrowfull, and Ekron: for her expectation shalbe ashamed, and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shal not be inhabited.
