⁴³ and Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,

⁴⁴ and Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,

⁴⁵ and Jehud, and Bene-Barak, and Gath-Rimmon,

⁴⁶ and Me-Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over-against Japho.

³⁴ And the Amorites press the sons of Dan to the mountain, for they have not suffered them to go down to the valley;
