Ashdod       stronghold, a Philistine city (Josh. 15:47), about midway       between Gaza and Joppa, and 3 miles from the Mediterranean. It       was one of the chief seats of the worship of Dagon (1 Sam. 5:5).       It belonged to the tribe of Judah (Josh. 15:47), but it never       came into their actual possession. It was an important city, as       it stood on the highroad from Egypt to Palestine, and hence was       strongly fortified (2 Chr. 26:6; Isa. 20:1). Uzziah took it, but       fifty years after his death it was taken by the Assyrians (B.C.       758). According to Sargon's record, it was captured by him in       B.C. 711. The only reference to it in the New Testament, where       it is called Azotus, is in the account of Philip's return from       Gaza (Acts 8:40). It is now called Eshdud.

In Deut. 4:49 it       is translated in the Authorized Version "springs of Pisgah." The       name Ashdoth is translated "springs" in the Authorized Version,       but "slopes" in the Revised Version, of Josh. 10:40 and 12:8. It       has been identified with the springs under Mount Nebo, now       called 'Ayun Musa.
