I will stretch: These predictions against the Philistines, Edomites, and others, seem to have been fulfilled by by Nebuchadnezzar during the siege of Tyre. Berosus states that he subdued Syria, Arabia, Phoenicia, and Egypt; and now their very names have no existence, except in history. Ezekiel 25:7, Ezekiel 25:13

Cherethims: 1 Samuel 30:14, 2 Samuel 15:18, Zephaniah 2:4, Zephaniah 2:5-15, Cherethites

and destroy: Jeremiah 47:4

sea coast: or, haven of the sea

Reciprocal: 2 Samuel 8:18 - the Cherethites Jeremiah 47:5 - the remnant Jeremiah 47:7 - the sea Amos 1:6 - Gaza Amos 1:8 - I will cut Obadiah 1:19 - the plain

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore thus saith the Lord God,.... Because of such wretched malice and despiteful usage:

behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines; as is foretold, Jeremiah 47:1,

and I will cut off the Cherethims: one of the tribes of the Philistines, a principal part of their country, which lay to the south,

1 Samuel 30:14, there is a beautiful play on words i in the Hebrew:

and destroy the remnant of the seacoast; as that of Ashdod, Caphtor, and Ashkelon, formerly spoiled by other persons; what they left should now be utterly destroyed; see Isaiah 20:1

a והכרתי את כרתים.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The Philistines occupying lands to the south of Judah were a Hamite race Genesis 10:14, but of a different branch from the Canaanites. They were a powerful people never dispossessed by the Israelites Joshua 13:3. They were a thorn in the side of the chosen people throughout, and joined in attacking Jerusalem in the day of her trouble. They were much reduced by the Assyrians Isaiah 14:31, and Egyptians Jeremiah 47:1-7, before the time of this prophecy, but further destruction came upon them in the general ruin of the inhabitants of Canaan, which commenced with the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.

Cherethims - The inhabitants of the southern portion of Philistia Zephaniah 2:5.
