Commentators emphasize that this verse promises a complete reversal of fortune. The land of Israel's enemies, the Philistines, would be given as an inheritance or 'lot' to the faithful remnant of Judah. This demonstrates that God is faithful to His covenant promises, even after periods of judgment, and will ultimately restore what belongs to His people.
