[DieHard the Hunter]

My Old Testament memory is a bit dodgy sometimes: can someone please remind me — was “Ashkelon” once a Philistine stronghold in the time of King David?

[P8riot]

Ashkelon is where Delilah had Sampson’s hair cut.

You may be thinking of the death of King Saul - 2 Samuel 1:19-20

Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places! How are the mighty fallen!

Tell it not in Gath, Publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
