The article focuses on the new insights gained from excavations at Tell es-Safi, the site of ancient Gath of the Philistines, and how they challenge previous interpretations of Philistine history. Topics include the revision of traditional views on Philistine origins and migrations, evidence of continuous local settlement and mixed cultural influences, and the significant discoveries that illustrate Gath's prominent role and eventual downfall in the region.
