To the lower sea of the rising sun,

All the blackheaded people he has cast beneath my feet,

The rebellious princes shun battle with me.

They forsook their dwellings; like a falcon

Which dwells in the clefts, they fled alone to an inaccessible place.


To the city of Ekron I went,

The governors and princes who had done evil I slew,

I bound their corpses to poles around the city.

The inhabitants of the city who had done evil I reckoned as spoil;
