I am philistine.
Delilah was a Philistine. Goliath was also a Philistine. They worshipped a god called Dagon. That idol fell on its face in the presence of the Hebrew arc of the covenant which contained the tablets on which was written the ten commandments.

David was a shepherd boy. He killed the Philistine giant Goliath with a stone and God's help.
Goliath was a Philistine. (Specfically, he was from the city of Gath, a Philistine city-state.)
I find it disappointing that some consider classic literature to be outdated and irrelevant, dismissing it as philistine.

Τhe greek word for Philistine is "Φιλισταίος" (feeleesteos).
The term "philistine" refers to someone who is hostile or indifferent to culture and the arts. Example: Despite living in a city known for its museums and theaters, he proudly declared himself a philistine with no interest in the cultural scene.
Samson was a Nazirite from birth, which included special vows to God (Numbers chapter 6). One of these vows was to not cut his hair while under this distinction. His God-given strength was tied into his being a Nazirite. His wife, Delilah, was a Philistine woman and did not love Samson the way he loved her. For profit she betrayed him and got him to admit where his great strength came from. She then cut his hair while he was asleep and that ended him being a Nazirite, and this ended his God-given strength. The Philistines than were able to capture him.
