See on Jos 11:22 Jos 13:3 Jos 15:45-47 1Sa 6:17

Also Judah.There is the following remarkable variation here in the Septuagint: [Kai ouk ekléronomésen Ioudas tén Gazan, oude ta horia autés; oude tén Askalóna, oude ta horia autés; kai tén Akkarón, oude ta horia autés; tén Azóton, oude ta perisporia autés.] "But Judah did not possess Gaza, nor the coasts thereof; nor Askelon, nor the coasts thereof; nor Ekron, nor the coasts thereof; nor Ashdod, nor the coasts thereof." Procopius and Augustine read the same; and Josephus (Ant. 1. v. c. 2) says that the Israelites only took Askelon and Ashdod, but not Gaza or Ekron; and from ch. 3:3, and the whole succeeding history, it appears that these cities were not in the possession of the Israelites, but of the Philistines.
