**Gaza:** Gaza, a city of great antiquity, was situated between Raphia and Askelon, twenty-two miles north of the former, and sixteen south of of the latter, according to the Antonine Itinerary; three miles from the sea, according to Arrian, and thirty-four from Ashdod or Azotus, according to Diodorus Siculus. It was a place of great strength and importance; and successively belonged to the Philistines, Hebrews, Chaldeans, and Persians; which latter defended it for two months against Alexander the great, who finally took and destroyed it. It was afterwards rebuilt, and alternately possessed by the Egyptians, Syrians, and Jews. The present town, which the Arabs call Razza, is situated on an eminence, and is rendered picturesque by the number of fine minarets which rise majestically above the buildings, with beautiful date trees interspersed. It contains upwards of 2,000 inhabitants. [Genesis 10:19](../../../kjv/genesis/10/19), [Joshua 15:47](../../../kjv/joshua/15/47)

**with the web:** It is evident that this verse ends abruptly, and does not contain a full sense. Houbigant has particularly noticed this, and corrected the text from the Septuagint, which adds after these words:
ךבי ודךסןץףחע פש נבףףבכש ויע פןם פןיקןם, ךבי וףןלבי שע ויע פשם בםטסשנשם בףטוםחע ךבי ודוםופן ום פש ךןילבףטבי בץפןם ךבי וכבגו בכיהב פבע ונפב ףויסבע פחע ךוצבכחע בץפןץ, ךבי ץצבםום ום פש היבףלבפי, ך.פ.כ.
"and shall fasten them with the pin in the wall, I shall become weak like other men, and so it was, that when he slept, Dalida took the seven locks of his head, and wove them with the web," etc. This is absolutely necessary to complete the sense; else Delilah would appear to do something she was not ordered to do, and to omit what she was commanded. Dr. Kennicott very judiciously observes, that the omission, for such it appears to be, begins and ends with the same word; and that the same word occurring in different places, is a very common cause of omission in Hebrew manuscripts.
