"The Philistines were known enemies of Israel. They likely originated from Greece and made their temporary home in Canaan. For reference, we call that area the Gaza strip today. In ancient times however, Israel was called to rid the nation of those invaders under the leadership of Samuel, the last judge of Israel. They did not. Samuel called Israel together to fight against the Philistines. The Israelites decided to bring the Ark of the Covenant to battle, hoping it would give them a better chance of winning against their enemies. But Israel was in no condition to come against them. They were soundly defeated. The Bible says there was a
great slaughter that day, and that the Ark of God was captured. But the Ark was no mere good luck charm, as Israel seemed to have supposed, it was a divinely inspired object with deadly consequences if mishandled. The Philistines figured this out rather quickly.
