• “Baldness is come upon Gaza” indicates that this ancient city, for long in possession of Judah (Josh. 10:41; Judges 1:18; 1 Kings 4:24), had again fallen into the hands of its original occupants. It was devoted to destruction—so complete that it could be described as shaving city and people off the face of the ground; a figure frequently used by the prophets to signify utter desolation (Isa. 7:20; Ezek. 5:1, 2; Amos 8:10, etc.). As hair symbolizes the strength of dependence upon God (as in the example of Samson), and glory (as in the woman’s case), baldness indicates the absence of both. Philistia should be weak and helpless before her foes; her glory a mere memory, and her power departed. (“Chapter 24” by H.A. Ironside)
