Well that does make sense, they were not native to Israel or the area they settled there. They were not known to be cultured or intellectual either, but were materialistic.

LiveScience says that, "The Philistines were a group of people who arrived in the Levant (an area that includes modern-day Israel, Gaza, Lebanon and Syria) during the 12th century B.C. They came during a time when cities and civilizations in the Middle East and Greece were collapsing." Jul 16, 2016
