Palestine is derived.
Philistines
- literate People with a language spoken in
Crete Cyprus southwestern portion of Asia Minor called Caria
the script of the language similar to script of Mycenaean Greeks
whose Civilization among those disrupted by great migrations
around 1200 bc. Some speculate Philistines were Greeks fleeing
from the invasions that ended Mycenaean Civilizations. In Canaan
the Philistines mixed and intermarried with Canaanites adopted
the Canaanite language melded religion with Canaanite religion
gave to their gods names of Canaanite gods.
Two
Caanite gods Ba'al and El - El described on
Canaanite tablets as creator majestic father and King of gods
and Men. Ba'al was his son and god of life and fertility in
continual combat with Mot god of death and sterility. Ba'al
was a god of The Mountains where rainstorms began rode clouds
brought rain worshipers of Ba'al saw him dying when dry season
came vegetation disappeared resurrected during rainy season
when vegetation reappeared. In coastal cities Philistines maintained
cohesion as a People
Hebrews
Remained Scattered - in inland hills resisting attacks by camel
riding nomads from east. Philistines attempted to expand against
them forcing Hebrew tribe of Dan to leave foothills and to exiled
to the north.
Legendary
Leader from Tribe of Dan - fought Philistines
is Samson as a Nazirite. Nazirites originally a Canaanite tribe
now a movement of holy Men who worship God. Nazirites engaged
in ecstatic frenzies abstaining from wine strong drink and cutting
their hair. Nazirites were zealous if they were strong enough
they were inclined to take the lead in combating People they
detested they detested the Philistines for having refused circumcision.
Samson
leader in fight against Philistines - had a
weakness for Philistine Women describes Samson as burning Philistine
crops killing a thousand Philistines in a place called Ramathlehi
means hill of the jawbone the place Samson killed Philistines
with jawbone of a donkey. Philistine Woman Delilah learned from
Samson he was a Nazirite that if his hair was cut he would lose
his strength as Samson slept Delilah cut his hair a lesson about
dangers of foreign Women.
Having
lost his strength - Philistines overpowered
Samson gouged out his eyes took Samson to Gaza bound in chains
put to work as a grinder. Hair grew back when Philistine lords
assembled had Samson brought to them so they could look upon
him with amusement. Watching from the roof of the building were
3000 Philistine Men and Women. Philistines put Samson between
two pillars. Samson pushed on the pillars bringing the roof
down killing himself and all Philistines in and on the building.
Hebrews disrupted Philistine caravans bringing goods from the
desert Philistines established military outposts between their
cities and hills occupied by Hebrews.
10th
cent bc: David created a Hebrew Kingdom. economic
progress made as Hebrew tribes and Peoples began trading with
neighboring states new cities Jerusalem built by David to honor
God. King Hiram of Tyre sent trade mission to David provided
cedar logs stonemasons and carpenters to build a Palace and
Temple to God

1050
bc: Hebrews Combined Forces - confronted an
army of Philistines near Philistine outpost at Aphek Philistines
with iron weapons and horse drawn chariots Hebrews riding into
battle on donkeys the Hebrews lost the battle. Hebrew elders
wondered why God had allowed this they sent for The Ark of the
Covenant proclaiming it would deliver us from the power of our
enemies. The Ark came to the camp of the Hebrews who were defeated
again. Philistines captured The Ark took it to their City of
Ashdod this angered God he ravaged
and smote Philistines of Ashdod and territories with tumors.
After
The Hebrews Had Lost Two Battles - another
Nazirite rose as leader. Samuel a Holy Man an oracle and soothsayer.
Samuel's military units remained outside Philistine control.
Samuel at urging of Hebrew elders arranged the making of a Monarch
for the Hebrews a warrior King to better Unite the Hebrews.
They chose Saul a leader in politics and religion. Saul's Kingship
a common form of rule of Kingship for Hebrews is an Institution.
Saul
named one of his sons Eshbaal - meaning Ba'al
exists another son named Meribaal meaning Ba'al rewards one
of Saul's Benjamite clansmen was Bealiah that meant Yahweh is
Ba'al.
Saul
successfully engaged Philistines - in three
battles followed by Philistines withdrawing garrisons from around
Hebrew territory. Saul named David a shepherd boy attached to
Saul's court as a Musician and shield bearer. A Philistine named
Goliath challenged Saul's army Goliath six cubits or 9 feet
tall. David alone unafraid of Goliath took the challenge and
slew Goliath. David rose in standing as a warrior in further
warfare exceeding that of Saul.
When
David Returned From Killing The Philistines - Women
came out of all the cities of Hebrews singing and dancing to
meet King Saul with tambourines with joy with musical instruments
Women sang as they played and said Saul has killed thousands
and David tens of thousands.
King
Saul Jealous of David - tried to kill him.
David fled from Saul and his agents to a cave in
the southern wilderness near Hebron. David gathered a band
of adventurers and debtors. Married to Saul's daughter took
another wife daughter of a local wealthy herdsman brought local
support David allied with Philistine King of Gath Achish.
Battle
at Mount Gilboa - overlooking Plain of Jezreel
Philistines lured Saul and army down from the high ground Philistines
with chariots horsemen and Canaanite allies overwhelmed Saul's
forces. In the battle three of Saul's sons were killed and rather
than be taken prisoner Saul fell on his sword. When Philistines
found Saul they cut off his head posted it for display in the
temple of their god Dagon fastened his body to the wall at the
town of Beth shan Philistines took possession of the greater
part of Canaan.
Saul
Succeeded By Fourth Son Eshbaal - who ruled
over territory greatly reduced in size by Philistines. War between
the forces of David and those of Eshbaal ended with Eshbaal
dead and David anointed priest King in place of Eshbaal. From
Hebron David and his army ventured out to make his rule over
Hebrews a reality. David captured Amorite town of Jerusalem
and various other towns. Philistines heard David had been anointed
King of Hebrews Philistines turned against him. David triumphed
in war against Philistines succeeding where Saul failed by force
of arms David expanded rule great powers of Assyria and Egypt
were too preoccupied to challenge his expansion.

Rule - David's subjects prostrated themselves in his presence.
Like conquerors before him he claimed to be the agent
of God. David called himself
The Son of God. Ruled in great
splendor including a great harem. In addition to Saul's daughter
and wife taken while at Hebron took wives from conquered territories
to bind his Empire together he took Bathsheba wife of a local
neo Hittite soon Bathsheba was mother of David's son named Solomon.
David
Bringing to Jerusalem The Ark of The Covenant - proclaiming
his intention to build in Jerusalem a Temple to house The Ark
connected to worship of God. David
like Saul appears close to worship of God.
He gave one of his sons Beeliada a Canaanite name. His leaping
and dancing before God with music
accompaniment. Polytheistic outlooks no evidence exits that
David Saul or others influenced by other religions knew of The
Commandment given to Moses that You shall have No
other gods before Me.
At
David's Court - were a variety of Peoples from
Crete Philistines neo Hittites. Beyond the Royal Court more
genetic blending was taking place. Many Hebrews were already
a mixture of various Peoples they were becoming more of a mix.
During David's rule after non Hebrews among them Amorites were
absorbed by the Hebrews like Ubaidians and Akkadians Amorites
were to vanish as an identifiable Peoples or races.
David
Created a Golden Age for Hebrews - benefited
from wealth taken from conquered Peoples. Hebrews benefited
as had Egypt and Hammurabi's Babylon from Peace created by conquest
it was a golden age like other Civilizations antagonisms between
rich and poor. Similar to all other rulers David taxed subjects
requested them to labor for the State. Each worker paid 3 Shekels
a day according to Shekel of The Sanctuary
recorded. A shekel was worth 20 Garahs with a 5% tax
rate. Dissident agents working for alien flight gods rebelled
influencing discontented subjects led by his son Absalom a messenger
reporting to David that the hearts of the Men of Hebrews are
with Absalom. David crushed the rebellion and the life of Absalom
continuing The Works for The
Event or what is called Precession
of the Euinox that was looming at the time when David died
Solomon continued the unfinished Works..
