Endnote 9 – The Philistines Enter Canaan

See, for example, Abraham Malamat, “The Egyptian Decline in Canaan and the Sea Peoples,” in World History of the Jewish People vol. 3: Judges, ed. B. Mazar (London: W.H. Allen, 1971), p. 34; Benjamin Mazar, “The Philistines and Their Wars with Israel,” in World History, vol. 3, p. 170, Roland de Vaux, The Early History of Israel, transl. D. Smith (Philadelphia: Westminster, 1978), pp. 493, 509, Trude Dothan, The Philistines and Their Material Culture (New Haven, CT: Yale Univ. Press, 1982), p. 3, and “The Philistines Reconsidered,” in Biblical Archaeology Today, pp. 170, 172. Note, however, the reservations of V.A. Desborough (The Last Mycenaeans and Their Successors: An Archaeological Survey c. 1200–c. 1000 B.C. [Oxford: Clarendon, 1964], p. 209) and Richard D. Barnett, “The Sea Peoples,” in CAH, p. 378.
