H0796 H0796
Ashdodite, a gentilic adjective for inhabitants of the Philistine city of Ashdod, used as noun or modifier.
The gentilic adjective derived from Ashdod, one of the five chief Philistine cities on the Mediterranean coast. It appears both as a collective singular with the article -- 'the Ashdodite' meaning the Ashdodite population (Josh 13:3) -- and in the plural for the inhabitants who suffered when the ark was among them (1 Sam 5:3, 6). In Nehemiah's time the term takes on cultural significance: the 'Ashdodite women' whom Jewish men married (Neh 13:23) and the people of Ashdod who opposed the wall-rebuilding (Neh 4:7). Spanish uses 'los de Ashdod' (those of Ashdod), capturing the collective ethnic sense.
