|Literally, "king of the foreigners." 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]].

|Traditionally translated as "king of the [[Philistines]]." Deuteronomy 2:23 says that a people called the Avvites 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]]. In fact, the name ''Philistine'' ([[Hebrew]] '''פלישתי''' or ''philisth'') means "one who invades or overruns or makes inroads into a territory"—which is what these Cretans (or whoever they were) did.
