	Philistines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nineteenth-century Bible scholars identified the land of the Philistines (Philistia) with Palastu and Pilista in Assyrian inscriptions, according to Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897).
		Later, Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon eventually conquered all of Syria and the land of Canaan, and the Philistine cities became part of the Neo-Babylonian Empire.
		Subsequently the cities were under the control of Persians, Greeks, and Romans, and "Philistia" was governed as a territory.

		Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a viper, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
		Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a basilisk, and his fruit shall be a flying serpent.

	Re: Palestine / Philistia; 'The Pale'/ and M-W2
		In Reply to: Palestine / Philistia; 'The Pale' posted by GPP on August 12, 2003
		: Without having bothered to look anything up, I'm quite positive that "Palestine" is a variant of Philistia, which, again not checking the facts, I understand to have been west of Judah and Israel, along the coast, in the general area of Gaza.

	Welcome to the Official Kermit Zarley Web Site!
		That is exactly where ancient Philistia existed, lying side-by-side ancient Israel, in what was called "the land of the Philistines." And during the early centuries of Israel's existence, Philistia was its archrival.
		Then, verse fourteen declares concerning Israeli Jews that "they swoop down on the slopes of Philistia to the west." The Hebrew word here translated "swoop" is usually used to depict a bird of prey swooping down upon its victim.
		And the Jews, God's Chosen People, will have been greatly humbled and thereby prepared to fulfill their divine destiny to be a blessing to the Palestinians as well as all the peoples of the earth because God said to Abraham, "in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed" (Genesis 12.3).

	The Judging of Jurgen
		Then the Philistines who stood to this side and to that side said in indignant unison: “And we, the reputable citizenry of Philistia, are not at all in sympathy with those who would take any protest against the tumblebug as a justification of what they are pleased to call art.
		Jurgen now looked more attentively at this queer creature: and he saw that the tumblebug was malodorous, certainly, but at bottom honest and well—meaning; and this seemed to Jurgen the saddest thing he had found among the Philistines.
		For the tumblebug was sincere in his insane doings, and all Philistia honored him sincerely, so that there was nowhere any hope for this people.
