The Philistines, an ancient people mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, had several notable rulers. Among them, five primary city-states were governed by lords or kings, often referred to as the "pentapolis": Ashkelon, Ashdod, Gaza, Gath, and Ekron. Some prominent figures include Goliath, a warrior from Gath, and King Achish, who appears in various biblical accounts. These leaders played significant roles in the conflicts between the Philistines and the Israelites during the biblical era.
