"Most
Bible students know the menacing Philistines were the enemies of the
Israelites. There were constant struggles for control of the land of
Canaan (an older name for Palestine). A study, just a quick study,
of the people of Philistia might lead one to conclude that … if
they had not always been battling with the nation of Israel, they
would have been at war with another group. They liked to fight!!
WHY?
Because they could!!
The
Philistines were skilled warriors; on land and at sea. In fact, they
were once called Sea Peoples. Their navy consisted of fleets of the
finest warships during that time, expertly manned by experienced
soldier/seamen. As for their army? The infantry, i.e. trained foot
soldiers, possessed superior weapons of iron and wielded them
masterfully and mercilessly."

Ethiopian or Philistine? (O.o) Question prompted by some dialogue in a #DenzelWashington movie. If in the script, instead of saying “Ethiopian”, they called Mr. Washington’s character a “Philistine”, the scene would've made sense to me.— My Fox Nooze (aka Joie de Vivre Magazine) (@FoxMarks_ATX) November 13, 2019
