3 Before the sound of the stamping of the hooves of his mighty ones, from the quaking of his chariots, the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers will not turn back toward the sons, from feebleness of hands, At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of their wheels, the fathers look not back to their children, so feeble are their hands, at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds, at the noise of enemy chariots and the rumble of their wheels. Parents will not turn to help their children; their hands will hang limp.

Against Ashkelon and against the seashore he has appointed it.” But how can it rest when the LORD has commanded it, when he has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coast?”
