The Philistines worshipped Dagon..........
Thanks, that is interesting.
Sounds more like the Philistines came from that same general area instead of from the West.
From the Bible we know they were pretty good fighters. Often giving the Hebrews all they could handle.
That’s one deity they in particular worshipped, but like almost every people at the time, they were polytheists. Dagon was probably “their” god that they brought with them, but they certainly had shrines to Baal, Ishtar, Molech and all the other common local gods as well.
