Answer 2

1.). The great enemies of the post-Moses Hebrews were the Philistines, a tribe that arrived in Canaan from Crete and lived along the Mediterranean coast in cities like Ekron (20 miles southwest of Jerusalem). Delilah was a Philistine who discovered the secret of Samson's strength and betrayed him. The Philistines killed the Hebrew King Saul. Goliath, the giant slain by David, was also a Philistine.

2.) The Philistines were a seafaring people that settled on the Palestine coast in the 12th century B.C. They brought early Greek culture to Holy Land and are thought to have originated from Aegean region. They were one of about a half dozen or more Sea People that arrived in the eastern Mediterranean in the 12th century B.C. They were expert metalsmiths and similar to Phoenicians in some ways. While there are a number of theories abound as to where the Philistine came from — and how they arrived — no one really knows for sure.

3.) In the Bible the Philistines were characterized as thuggish destroyers. The word Philistine has come to mean a hedonistic, uneducated person. The American Heritage Dictionary defines a Philistine as a “smug, ignorant, especially middle-class person who is regarded as being indifferent or antagonistic to artistic and cultural values."
