Picture this: it's roughly 1200 BCE, and the ancient world is in chaos. The Israelites have settled in the promised land of Canaan, but they don't have a king yet. Instead, they're living in a fragmented collection of tribes, constantly fighting for survival against their neighbors. And their biggest problem? The Philistines - a sophisticated people who control the coast and, while they didn't have a monopoly on iron technology, were more advanced in metallurgy and military organization than their Israelite neighbors.
