Deuteronomy 2:23 says that a people called the "Avims" lived in the Gaza Strip until a later Cretan or "Caphthorite" invasion drove them out; the Cretans or "Sea Peoples" continued as the "Philistines" that contented with [[Judge (biblical)|Judges]] [[Shamgar]], [[Jephthah]], and [[Samson]], and Kings [[Saul]] and [[David]].
