The Philistines were originally a group of people who migrated to the southern coast of Canaan (modern-day Israel and Palestine) from the Aegean region around the 12th century BCE. They were one of the Sea Peoples who invaded the eastern Mediterranean during that time.

The Philistines were a sea people who arrived in the Levant around 1250 BCE. They occupied the rich coastal plains and foothills from the Egyptian border north to approximately where Tel Aviv is today.

Although The Bible refers to the Philistines in the time of the prophet Abraham, these accounts are not really true, because the Philistines did not arrive until centuries later. At the time the Bible was being written, the Hebrews thought that the Philistines had always been there.
