      Fun fact: The Philistines are believed to be one of the Sea People who raided throughout the eastern Mediterranean during the bronze age collapse. It’s believed they may have been greeks and this was their final settlement.

      Reminder that philistines have no relation to the modern day Palestinian nation and that the only reason this place is named Palestine (after them) is because the romans despised jews and wanted to punish them for revolting

      Please note that this is just the peak of David’s kingdom according to the Bible, it’s not very historical.

      Archeological evidence suggests that the united kingdom of Israel, if it even existed, was much smaller.

      This map includes En Gedi as a „city“ on the western shore of the Dead Sea. Was it a city? Today there’s literally nothing there, it’s a valley in the middle of the desert with some goats grazing on succulents, there’s a little waterfall and that’s it, no sign this was ever a populated place…

      It wouldn’t have been called Israel at the time. Judea during the Roman times and Palestine up until the 1940s

      So parts of modern day Jordan, Lebanon and Syria but interestingly not the Gaza strip.

      I’m a little confused about Tyre being part of Israel. Was that in the Bible? I remember the Phoenician cities as being presented as separate polities.

      The whole division is pretty weird when you think about it. Why does Manesseh get such a vast amount of land when he’s not even one of the original twelve tribes but just one of the two sons of Joseph? And Ephraim as well, the other son of Joseph? The two of then get the bulk of the best Northern lands. While most of the actual sons of Jacob get the scraps.

      In addition, there’s stuff like Dan getting land that is never actually held as part of Israel, and has to flee north to take over the city of Dan. And Simeon gets that weird bit of wilderness in the middle of Judah’s territory (and then completely disappears from the narrative).

      None of this map is *historical*, obviously. Israel (in whatever tribal form) was never this large, it was just how it was retroactively projected by post-exilic priests. But the framing narrative of the division doesn’t even make much internal sense as an etiological legend.
