Jeremiah 25:20

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;" — Jeremiah 25:20 (ASV)

The mingled people - Either auxiliaries; or, rather, a constituent portion of the people of Egypt, who were not of pure blood.

Azzah - That is, Gaza.

The remnant of Ashdod - A sentence which only a contemporary writer could have used. Psammetichus, after a siege of 29 years, had captured and destroyed Ashdod, except for a feeble remnant.
