| | Philistines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It has been suggested that the Philistines formed part of the great naval confederacy, the "Sea Peoples", who had wandered, at the beginning of the 12th century BC, from their homeland in southern Greece and the Aegean islands to the shores of the Mediterranean and repeatedly attacked Egypt during the later Nineteenth Dynasty. | | | Later, Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon eventually conquered all of Syria and the Kingdom of Judah, and the former Philistine cities became part of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. | | | Though they were eventually repulsed by Ramesses III, he was apparently unable, according to the theory, to dislodge them from their settlements in Canaan. |

| | Philistines - Smith's Bible Dictionary on StudyLight.org |
| | The "old hatred" that the Philistines bore to the Jews was exhibited in acts of hostility at the time of the Babylonish captivity, (Ezekiel 25:15-17) but on the return this was somewhat abated, for some of the Jews married Philistine women, to the great scandal of their rulers. | | | After the death of Necho the contest was renewed between the Egyptians and the Chaldeans under Nebuchadnezzar, and the result was specially disastrous to the Philistines. | | | The Egyptian ascendancy was not as yet re-established, for we find the next king, Necho, compelled to besiege Gaza on his return from the battle of Megiddo. |

| | Philistines in the Bible |
| | Clearly, the Philistines were not the complete cultural pariah that the Biblical would lead their readers to believe. | | | Biblical authors even mention that Ittai, the leader of the bodyguards, is from the Philistine city of Gath and has men of Gath under his command (2 Samuel 15:18-19). | | | Apparently, since Delilah, Sampson’s wife, is the source of his downfall, even association with the hated Philistines gains the disapproval of Yaweh. |

| | Some scholars believe the earlier references to the Philistines is anachronistic and were placed in the biblical record without regard to historical accuracy. | | | When David was exiled from Israel by King Saul, he became a vassal subject of the Philistines and even led raids against the Israelites (1 Samuel 27). | | | But as Israeli expansion pressed westward, the Philistines pressed eastward causing no little friction between the nations. |

| | Apologetics Press - Philistines in the Time of Abraham—Fallacy or Fact? |
| | The word “Philistine” was a rather generic term meaning “sea people.” No doubt, some of the Aegean Sea people made their way to Palestine long before a later migration took place—a migration that was considerably larger. | | | Surely, had the Philistine people been a great nation in the time of the patriarchs, they would not have been afraid of one man (Abraham) and a few hundred servants (cf. | | | B.C., that it is premature to deny outright the possible existence of Philistines in the Aegean area before 1200 |

| | A Distant Mirror - The Philistines and the Phoenicians |
| | While kings like David, Jehoshaphat, Uzziah, and Hezekiah, did manage to subdue their quarrelsome neighbours at different stages, the Philistines were still around as a distinct racial entity until the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 587 BC (when they too were deported to Babylon). | | | The Egyptians were the first to call the invading barbarians the Sea Peoples, because they came in such vast numbers from the sea. | | | An important clue in understanding the impact of these hostile groups, is that from a Jewish perspective both the Phoenicians and the Philistines seemed to issue from the sea. |
