Philistines (Hebrew: פְּלִשְׁתִּים, romanized: Pəlištīm; LXX: Koinē Greek: Φυλιστιείμ, romanized: Phulistieím; Latin: Philistaei) were ancient people who lived on the south coast of Canaan during the Iron Age in a confederation of city-states ...
Philistia included Jaffa (in today's Tel Aviv), but it was lost to the Hebrews during Solomon's time. Nonetheless, the Philistine king of Ashkelon conquered Jaffa again circa 730 BC. Following Sennacherib's third campaign in the Levant, the Assyrians reassigned Jaffa to the Phoenician city-state of Sidon, and Philistia never got it back. [1]
