Where did samson kill philistines?
Samson lived in the latter part of the time of the judges. Samson was a judge. (not a judge like we have today, but a judge in that time period delivered Israel out of the hand of their enemies and brought them closer to God.) We are told in Judges 16:4b "....... that He (God) was seeking an occasion to move against the Philistines. For at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel". God raised up Samson to incite war against the Philistines. The Philistines had taken over parts of Israel and were treating the people very badly. God wanted this to stop. Samson was the first Judge to encounter the Philistines. It was not until the time of David that the Philistines were defeated badly enough to stop being a power against Israel. Samson's basic area of war against the Philistines was Zorah, which was in the territory of the Tribe of Dan. If you will recall it was David as a lad before he became King who took his sling and 5 smooth pebbles (Rocks) and put one between the eyes of Goliath who was a mercenary of the Philistines.
What does stirring the mulberries mean?
The defeat of the Philistines by King David is recounted in II Samuel 5:23,24 where David is told by God not to attack the Philistines until there was a stirring in the tops of the mulberry trees. This was the sign that God was with him and would fight for him.
In the story of David what were the invaders of Israel called?
The main enemies of Israel at that period were the Philistines.
When the philistines attacked judah who helped them?

(Judges 10,6,7)

What kind of relationship did goliath and god have?
Goliath was not a servant of God. he was from the tribe of the Philistines. The Philistines went collecting their camps together to wage war against the Israelites. The Philistines were on one side of the mountain and the Israelites on the other. A champion came forward from the Philistines and his name was Goliath. He was a very large, tall man that wore heavy armor. and he wanted to engage in warfare with the Israelites, because he knew how powerful he was . The israelites were God's chosen people. so certainly God would not have any sort of relationship with Goliath, except in determining who was going to take care of this monsterous man. David was no match for Goliath, however, he accepted the challenge and rejected the armor. His statement was"Jehovah will deliver me."
What was God's message to Samson?
Samson was not a prophet and God didn't speak to him. Rather, an angel of God told Samson's parents that he would be the start of Israel's deliverance from the Philistines (Judges ch.13).
Why did God say that the Philistines were bad?
God had made a promise to Abraham, to give his offspring a 'Promised Land'. God has the right to give someone any piece of land that he wishes to give them. Whoever resides there, must respect God's right to parcel out the earth. When Abraham's descendants (the Israelites) arrived to take possession of their Promised Land, the Philistines were not about to move. Instead they fought God's people. This is not good. The Philistines disrespected God's decision regarding who is assigned to that portion of land. They could have relinquished the land; and moved back from whence they came from (namely Crete). Because they didn't move; and because they fought God's people, it would not turn out good for them, because Almighty God is much stronger than they were. Therefore God saw to it that they were forcibly removed; or eradicated from the land.
