Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root word פְּלֶשֶׁת (Pelesheth), referring to the region of Philistia.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term for Philistine is found in the New Testament as G5376 (Φιλιστιείμ • Philistieim), though the Philistines are primarily an Old Testament people group and are not frequently mentioned in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The term פְלִשְׁתִּי is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote individuals from the Philistine people, who were often in conflict with the Israelites. The Philistines are frequently mentioned in the context of military encounters and cultural interactions with Israel. Context: The Philistines were a significant group in the ancient Near East, known for their advanced culture and military prowess. They are believed to have originated from the Aegean region and settled in the coastal areas of Canaan around the 12th century BCE. The Philistines established a confederation of five city-states: Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ekron, and Gath. Throughout the biblical narrative, the Philistines are depicted as formidable adversaries of the Israelites. Notable biblical figures such as Samson, Saul, and David had significant interactions with the Philistines. For instance, David's victory over the Philistine giant Goliath is a well-known story illustrating the ongoing conflict between the two groups (1 Samuel 17). The Philistines are often portrayed as idol worshipers, with their primary deity being Dagon. Despite their conflicts, there were periods of coexistence and cultural exchange between the Philistines and Israelites. The Philistines' influence waned after their defeat by King David and subsequent subjugation by the Assyrians and Babylonians.
