כֹּה אָמַר יְהֹוָה עַל־שְׁלֹשָׁה פִּשְׁעֵי עַזָּה וְעַל־אַרְבָּעָה לֹא אֲשִׁיבֶנּוּ עַל־הַגְלוֹתָם גָּלוּת שְׁלֵמָה לְהַסְגִּיר לֶאֱדֽוֹם׃
Thus says the Lord; For three transgressions of ῾Azza, I will turn away its punishment, but for the fourth I will not turn away its punishment; because they carried away into exile a whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:

Rashi
גלות שלמה. גלות ישראל שתהא הגלות שלימה שלא ימלט איש שהיו עומדים על הדרכים ותופשין הנמלטים ומסגירין אותם וכן עשו אנשי צור וכן לארבע רוחות בחורבן בית שני כמו שמפורש באגדת האזינו עזה מן הדרום צור מן הצפון דמשק מן המזרח ערביים מן המערב שנאמר (ישעיהו כ״א:י״ג) משא בערב ביער בערב תלינו:
a whole captivity—I.e, the captivity of Israel, that the captivity be complete, that no one should escape, for they would stand on the roads and seize those fleeing and deliver them. And so did the people of Tyre, and so to the four sides during the destruction of the Second Temple, as is delineated in the Aggadah of Ha’azinu (Sifre 322), Gaza from the south, Tyre from the north, Damascus from the east, the Arabs from the west, as it is stated: (Isaiah 21: 13) “The harsh prophecy concerning Arabia: In the forest in Arabia did you lodge, on the roads of your cousins.”
וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי אֵשׁ בְּחוֹמַת עַזָּה וְאָכְלָה אַרְמְנֹתֶֽיהָ׃
but I will send a fire on the wall of ῾Azza, which shall devour its palaces:

וְהִכְרַתִּי יוֹשֵׁב מֵֽאַשְׁדּוֹד וְתוֹמֵךְ שֵׁבֶט מֵֽאַשְׁקְלוֹן וַהֲשִׁיבוֹתִי יָדִי עַל־עֶקְרוֹן וְאָֽבְדוּ שְׁאֵרִית פְּלִשְׁתִּים אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ {פ}
and I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the sceptre from Ashqelon, and I will turn my hand against ῾Eqron: and the remnant of the Pelishtim shall perish, says the Lord God.

Rashi
אשדוד. אשקלון עקרון סרני פלשתים הם:
Ashdod... Ashkelon... Ekron—They were the lords of the Philistines.
והשיבותי ידי. אכה ואשנה:
and I will return My hand—I will smite them repeatedly.
עזה. מפלשתים היתה:
Gaza—That was a city of the Philistines.
