This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Philip was set down by the Spirit at Ashdod of the Philistines, which is called by the Septuagint
Azotus: names of persons and places do in tract of time vary. This place had been famous for the idol Dagon, 1Sa_5:3, and for being a chief place of the Philistines, those enemies to God’s church; but Christ, when he comes, can cast Satan out of his strongest holds. This Azotus is accounted thirty-four miles from Gaza.
