The biblical references to the Philistines do not contain any memory of early Iron I events or cultural behaviour. A few texts, such as the Ark Narrative and stories reflecting the importance of Gath, seem to portray late Iron I and early Iron II memories. Most of the Philistine material, even if historically stratified and containing seeds of early tales as well as evidence for more than one redaction, is based on the geographical, historical and ideological background of late-monarchic times. Especially important are the allusions to Greek and west Anatolian mercenaries who served in the Saite army and were probably stationed, among other places, in Philistia. Chief among them were Carian, Ionian, Lydian and apparently also Cretan hoplites. This article highlights the following issues: the Philistine seranim, the pentapolis, Goliath’s armour, the Cherethites and the Pelethites and the origin of the Philistines.

“…An analysis of the short, schematic account of Davidʼs victory over the Philistines (2 Sam 8:1a: "After this David defeated the Philistines and subdued them") supports this conclusion. First, during the monarchical period, Philistia was divided among several 8 For the vast literature written on the story of David and Goliath, see Galling 1966;de Vries 1973;Barthélemy et al 1986;Rofé 1987;Auld and Ho 1992;Ehrlich 1992;Dietrich 1996;Isser 2003;Yadin 2004;Beck 2006;Van Seters 2009: 135-62, with earlier literature. 9 The author of the book of Chronicles borrowed the place name [E]phes Dammim from the David and Goliath story (1 Sam 17:1) and inserted it to his account of the battle of Eleazar the son of Dodo against the Philistines (1 Chr 11:12-13), thereby completing a missing detail in the early source available to him (2 Sam 23:9-19).…”

Was Khirbet Qeiyafa a Judahite City? The Case against It

The article critically examines the argument that Khirbet Qeiyafa was a Judahite stronghold established by king David. Detailed analysis of the published reports do not disclose any findings that connect it to either Jerusalem or the Judean and Benjaminite highlands in the 10th century BCE. On the contrary, the site conducted ramified commercial relations with districts located throughout the Land of Israel and beyond. It is evident that Khirbet Qeiyafa is connected neither to the emergence of the kingdom of Judah nor to king David, and should be studied in the context of the Shephelah, the district in which it is located.

This article contributes to the debate about the two versions of 1 Samuel 17–18, the shorter one in the Greek Bible and the longer one in the Hebrew. The majority opinion holds that Vaticanus represents the earlier stage and the MT pluses comprise a second version of the main episode, along with harmonizations and additional material. Several of the pluses in chapter 18, however, have been overlooked in previous studies. Accounting for each plus through the end of chapter 18, this study recovers a complete and independent second story that concludes with David’s successful marriage to Saul’s daughter as the reward promised; it identifies and explains all harmonizing additions; and it categorizes an unusual set of unnecessary interpolations made to enrich the story. The study confirms that parallel stories existed and circulated in written form outside “biblical” scrolls; that scribes meticulously spliced written sources to incorporate perceived parallels; and that scribes inserted material to enrich plot-lines, apart from solving narrative problems.
