PHILISTINES in the BOOKS of KINGS* Seymour Gitin W. F
PHILISTINES IN THE BOOKS OF KINGS* Seymour Gitin W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research, Jerusalem 1. Introduction The Philistines have long been of interest to students of the Bible. Although extra-biblical texts – including Egyptian, Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian, and Greek sources – provide a number of important insights into the history of the Philistines, evidence that could address in detail questions relating to their origin, their historical, cultural, religious, and economic development, and their ultimate fate has only come to light in the last half-century as a result of archaeological exca- vations. Most importantly, archaeology has shed new light on the role of the Philistines as one of the chief protagonists in the history of biblical Israel. The Philistines, Philistia, and its cities are mentioned a total of 422 times in the Bible, but only 18 of these references occur in the Book of Kings, and these mention only the Philistines and three of their five capital cities, namely, Ekron, Gath, and Gaza. This indi- cates that in stark contrast to other periods, they played only a minor role during the period covered by the Book of Kings – the period of the United and Divided Monarchies that spanned from the 10th through the 8th c. BCE.1 Even though these 18 references offer only a * I wish to thank Edna Sachar for her careful reading of the text and to acknowl- edge the following credits for the illustrations: Figs. 1–2 from the Collection of the Israel Antiquities Authority/photos © the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Figs. 3–5, 13 courtesy of the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon; Fig. -

UC Berkeley Postprints Title Measuring Local Diversity in Early Iron Age Animal Economies: A View from Khirbat al- Mudayna al-‘Aliya (Jordan) Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5d25c95x Authors Lev-Tov, Justin Porter, Benjamin W.

Routledge School of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology Hartley Building Brownlow Street University of Liverpool Liverpool L69 3GS, United Kingdom [email protected] We use faunal evidence from Khirbat al-Mudayna al-ʿAliya, an agropastoral settle- ment located in west-central Jordan, to examine early Iron Age subsistence regimes. Analysis of faunal evidence reveals a low-intensity, nonspecialized animal economy de- pendent on both domesticated and wild species, including freshwater crabs. The sub- sistence economy of the settlement, we argue, was structured so as to take maximum advantage of its location overlooking the Wadi al-Nukhayla, a perennial water source supporting a relatively verdant floral and faunal array. This diverse and flexible organ- ization made subsistence in this resource-scarce environment more sustainable. When this profile is compared with other early Iron Age southern Levantine communities, the diversity of ways that animal economies were organized during this period is apparent, signaling the need to investigate the local strategies that communities used to adapt to their immediate environmental circumstances, not only ecologically but also socially. -

New Discoveries Among the Philistines: Archaeological and Textual Considerations
Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 9/1Ð2 (1998): 57Ð70. Article copyright © 2000 by Michael G. Hasel. New Discoveries Among the Philistines: Archaeological and Textual Considerations Michael G. Hasel Southern Adventist University Perhaps no other culture of the Bible is more notorious than the Philistines. As the ever present foes of Israel, they are the people who brought about the downfall of Samson (Jdg 16). The Philistines are the only people who ever cap- tured the ark of God (1 Sam 4-6). The Bible records the story of the Philistine giant Goliath, who challenged the armies of Saul and was then defeated by a boy named David whose practiced aim was blessed by the Lord (1 Sam 17). Later David avenged the deaths of Saul and Jonathan at the hands of the Philistines (2 Sam 5:17-25). So the Philistines have become part of the childhood imagination wherever Bible stories are told, epitomizing evil and rebelliousness before the God of heaven. Mention of them brings to mind images of a barbaric, uncivi- lized, and uncouth people. While the first association is biblical, the second is a sociocultural assumption that requires further investigation. Before the dawn of archaeology as a systematic discipline in the Middle East during the last century, these recorded events, renowned as they were through the Judaeo-Christian world, lacked any specific historical context. Today, that picture has changed. We know a great deal more about the everyday life of this ancient people, for the Philistines, more perhaps than any other no ancient -
Just Another Summer Abu Tor Jerusalem, Israel October 25, 1985 Mr
NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT WRITER'S CONSENT INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS s-9 3 Yishay St. Just Another Summer Abu Tor Jerusalem, Israel October 25, 1985 Mr. Peter Bird Martin Institute of Current World Affairs 4 West Wheelock St. Hanover, New Hampshire, USA Dear Peter, The State of Israel has now passed through its 38th summer of existence, but the most recent, the summer of 1985, was not the happiest of them. The nation was clearly engaged in a struggle to determine its future direction as the opposing factions in the government coalition clashed on almost every pressing national issue. The soul-searching wasn't confined to government circles; in the face of a disturbing series of domestic crises and international incidents, the questions of economic reform, defense strategy, peace negotiations with Jordan, Jewish-Arab coexistence, and religious intolerance all became matters of public concern. Yet an important perspective on these problems seemed to be lacking. New interpreta- tions of the country's long history-- and its impact on the present-- did not play any significant role in the public debates. This absence of a broad historical context was especially unfortunate, for 1985 was a banner year in Israel for historical research. This summer, more than 30 major Israeli, American, British, French, and German archaeological expeditions fanned out across the country to excavate some of Israel's most important ancient sites. In few other countries was the scale of the work so massive and the results of the digging so potentially meaningful against the current political background. For despite their scholarly detachment from the concerns of the present, the vari- ous archaeological teams dealt with the same social and political problems that ab- sorbed the attention of the country's politicians and the population at large. -
