PHILISTINES. The Bible people of that name. They had settled in Palestine as early as the days of Abraham. In later times they grew to be the constant enemies of the Israelites. They are mentioned three times in the Book of Mormon (II Nephi, 12:6; 19:12; 21:14), always in quotations from the writings of Isaiah.
