It’s amazing how much anthropologists can make up... er, I mean detect from a few bones.

The article opines that Goliath is the best-known Philistine now. But what about Delilah? Sexist author!

I thought Delilah was a Hebrew sent to seduce him...but I may have remembered it incorrectly.

I think that Tom Jones covered the whole Delilah thing...

“Biggest Bible Mystery”? I dunno.

I always wanted to know for sure what that “firmament” was, or the Sons of Heaven and “Heroes of Reknown” that came about when the Sons of Heaven came together with the “Daughters of Men”.

Heck, I would have liked to know more about who Cain, Abel, Seth (and any other sons) married in those early years.

I think they know they were Philistines from the artifacts buried with them—not the bones.

Yes—good point. I believe the archaeologists have been wondering about the Philistines for years, so it is THEIR biggest mystery

Yes—I believe that’s what they were referred to in Biblical times

A macabre joke a Jewish friend told me:

Sampson slew 6,000 Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Hitler slew 1,000 times that many Jews with the same tool.

I’m not much on the Bible, but I don’t think Delilah was Philistine. Otherwise why did the Philistines have to bribe her to find out Samson’s weakness.

“”Heck, I would have liked to know more about who Cain, Abel, Seth (and any other sons) married in those early years.””

THAT would have been the mystery I wanted an answer to as well.

Did one of the stiffs have a note in his back pocket that says, “From this day forward we will be known as ‘Palestinians” and we own the title to all the land.”

You were right—she was likely not Hebrew, although given a Hebrew name.

Delilah was a Philistine. Samson was a proto-Florida man.
