GAZA - G>@ - (the fortified; the strong) (properly Azzah), one of the five chief cities of the Philistines. It is remarkable for its continuous existence and importance from the very earliest times. The secret of this unbroken history is to be found in the situation of Gaza. It is the last town in the southwest of Palestine, on the frontier towards Egypt. The same peculiarity of situation has made Gaza important in a military sense. Its name means "the strong;" and this was well elucidated in its siege by Alexander the Great, which lasted five months. In the conquest of Joshua the territory of Gaza is mentioned as one which he was not able to subdue. kjv@Joshua:10:41 kjv@Joshua:11:22 kjv@Joshua:13:3 ) It was assigned to the tribe of Judah, kjv@Joshua:15:47) and that tribe did obtain possession of it, kjv@Judges:1:18) but did not hold it long, kjv@Judges:3:3 kjv@Judges:13:1) and apparently it continued through the time of Samuel, Saul and David to be a Philistine city. kjv@1Samuel:6:17 kjv@1Samuel:14:52 kjv@1Samuel:31:1 ; 2Sam 21:15 Solomon became master of "Azzah," (Kings:4:24) but in after times the same trouble with the Philistines recurred. ( kjv@2Chronicles:21:16 kjv@2Chronicles:26:6 kjv@2Chronicles:28:18 ) The passage where Gaza is mentioned in the New Testament kjv@Acts:8:26) is full of interest. It is the account of the baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch on his return from Jerusalem to Egypt. Gaza is the modern Ghuzzeh , a Mohammedan town of about 16,000 inhabitants, situated partly on an oblong hill of moderate height and partly on the lower ground. The climate of the place is almost tropical, but it has deep wells of excellent water. There are a few palm trees in the town, and its fruit orchards are very productive; but the chief feature of the neighborhood is the wide-spread olive grove to the north and northeast

Gaza @ called also Azzah, which is its Hebrew name kjv@Deuteronomy:2:23; kjvKings:4:24; kjv@Jeremiah:25:20), strong, a city on the Mediterranean shore, remarkable for its early importance as the chief centre of a great commercial traffic with Egypt. It is one of the oldest cities of the world kjv@Genesis:10:19; kjv@Joshua:15:47). Its earliest inhabitants were the Avims, who were conquered and displaced by the Caphtorims kjv@Deuteronomy:2:23; kjv@Joshua:13:2-3), a Philistine tribe. In the division of the land it fell to the lot of Judah kjv@Joshua:15:47; kjv@Judges:1:18). It was the southernmost of the five great Philistine cities which gave each a golden emerod as a trespass-offering unto the Lord ( kjv@1Samuel:6:17). Its gates were carried away by Samson kjv@Judges:16:1-3). Here he was afterwards a prisoner, and "did grind in the prison house." Here he also pulled down the temple of Dagon, and slew "all the lords of the Philistines," himself also perishing in the ruin kjv@Judges:16:21-30). The prophets denounce the judgments of God against it kjv@Jeremiah:25:20 kjv@Jeremiah:47:5; kjv@Amos:1:6-7; kjv@Zephaniah:2:4). It is referred to in kjv@Acts:8:26. Philip is here told to take the road from Jerusalem to Gaza (about 6 miles south-west of Jerusalem), "which is desert", i.e., the "desert road," probably by Hebron, through the desert hills of Southern Judea. (
See SAMSON.) It is noticed on monuments as early as B.C. 1600. Its small port is now called el
- Mineh.
