| | Philistines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Nineteenth-century Bible scholars identified the land of the Philistines (Philistia) with Palastu and Pilista in Assyrian inscriptions, according to Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897). | | | The Philistines are spoken of in the Book of Amos as originating in Caphtor: "saith the Lord: Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?" (Amos 9:7). | | | The Philistines lost their independence to Tiglath-Pileser III of Assyria by 736 BC, and revolts in following years were all crushed. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Philistines |
| | In I Kings 5:2, we read: "And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dragon, and set it by Dragon", from which we infer that their chief god was this Semitic deity. | | | It is generally supposed that the Philistines adopted in the main the religion and civilization of the Chanaanites. | | | In this conflict the Philistine King of Accaron, who remained faithful to Sennacherib, was cast into prison by King Ezechias of Juda. |

| | The Philistines' language was apparently Semitic, the language of the peoples they conquered. | | | Their religion, too, was most likely Semitic, as they are found worshiping the deities met with among other Semitic peoples. | | | Not until David's assumption of supremacy over all Israel and after two hard battles were the Philistines compelled to recognize the rule of their former subjects. |

| | Are the Philistines in Genesis an Anachronism? |
| | The Philistines in Judges and beyond live in a five-city confederation under "lords." The Philistines in Genesis are in one city (not one of the five from later) and live under a king. | | | The Philistines were Israel's traditional enemies, well-known in the time when critics think that Genesis, Exodus, and Joshua were written; yet in Genesis (they are only mentioned briefly in Exodus and Joshua) they are depicted as friendly to Israel's founding patriarch. | | | In several verses in the books of Genesis, Exodus, and sometimes Joshua, it is charged that references to the Philistines are anachronistic. |

| | The Philistines were unaware of the fact that the living God was for David, as He had not been for Saul. | | | Not as the mighty man of valor did he impetuously rush ahead, but as the man submissive to his God did the king here act: most probably it was through Abiathar, by means of the urim and thummim in his ephod, that the Lord’s mind was sought. | | | It was of the Lord that these Philistines threatened Israel at this time, and therein we may perceive His grace toward His servant. |
