Talk:Philistia

Renamed?
Clicking on "Philistines" brought me to the recently renamed -- or moved -- one line article as it has been for years.

However, the fact that the "land" is called Philistia a few times in the Psalms, it does not appear that way anywhere else. It is always "the Philistines" or "land of the Philistines" in the historical and prophetic books.

Is this a translation differece? Redirect does the trick, but is it really necessary when only a handful of texts tradionally refer to the nation this way? SouthWriter (talk) 23:30, February 11, 2016 (UTC).

Re:Superdadsuper
I think that it should be called Phillistia since it seems that is the most historically official name. What I do not see on the article currently, but hope to see, is a history of the Phillistine people. I believe the earliest mention is in Genesis with the treaty as Beersheba and there is a long history elsewhere.
