The 5 main cities of Philistine were Ashdod, Ekron, Ashkelon, Gaza, and Gath.
Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron
theOld Testament book of 1 Samuel (17:4) says that Goliath was from the Philistine city of Gath. Gath was one of the five city-states of the Philistines (Gath, Gaza, Ekron, Ashkelon, and Ashdod). The exact location of Gath has not been identified, but most recent archaeological evidence suggests the mound of Tell es-Safi (the Hebrew name)/Tel-Zafit (the Arabic name). It is in central Israel, roughly half way between Jerusalem and Askelon, between the southern Coastal Plain and the Judean foothils (31°41 59.23 N latitude, 34°50 48.77 E longitude).
The Philistines, an ancient people mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, had several notable rulers. Among them, five primary city-states were governed by lords or kings, often referred to as the "pentapolis": Ashkelon, Ashdod, Gaza, Gath, and Ekron. Some prominent figures include Goliath, a warrior from Gath, and King Achish, who appears in various biblical accounts. These leaders played significant roles in the conflicts between the Philistines and the Israelites during the biblical era.
