He was a Philistine, which are of the people Casluhim (Genesis 10:14) which people group are cousins of the Amorites, and the Canaanites. He is said in 2 Samuel to be a Gittite which is apparently one of the families of the Philistine people, perhaps a city out of which they came originally.They are not Jewish by any relation, and so therefore not of any of the tribes of Israel.
