Best Answer

The Philistines were experts in Metallurgy (1 Samuel 13:19-23), putting Israel at a decided disadvantage. They also had a highly trained military organization (1 Samuel 13:5; 31:3). The armor of Philistine soldiers included bronze helmets, coats of mail, leg protectors, spears and shields (1 Samuel 17:5-7).

What secret allowed the Philistines to dominate the Israelites for years?

It wasn't a secret at all, it all had to do with the sin of Israel. Deuteronomy 7:1-11 describes it pretty well in that the Lord commanded Israel not to intermarry with foreigners because it would cause them to worship their gods. You can see this played out in Judges 2:1-3 and 2:11-15, where the Israelites do not destroy the foreigners, later to be known as the Philistines, the Canaanites, etc., and the Lord does not drive out the foreigners because of Israel's sin and idol worship. So, in short, Israel disobeys the Lord and He allows them to be "dominated" by the Philistines. Remember, all in all this is a depiction of us and Christ, in that when we turn to foreign gods, and idols, our sin controls us. However, unlike Israel we are not bound to that sin, and the Lord is not going to deliver us into the hands of our enemies. Rather, by His grace the cross of Jesus Christ frees us from sin's control over our lives. Live redeemed because Jesus purchased your freedom by His death on the cross, and resurrection from the grave.
