The Philistines are described in historical texts as having a formidable military presence, including chariots. Specific numbers vary across sources, but the biblical account in 1 Samuel 13:5 mentions that they had "30,000 chariots." However, exact numbers are often debated among scholars, as ancient records can be inconsistent. Ultimately, the precise number of Philistine chariots remains uncertain.

How did chariots help the hittites in battle?

There is disagreement about how, exactly, Hittites used chariots. Their tactics may or may not have changed during the course of the empire. It is clear that they used chariots as bow platforms for at least some of their battles. A charioteer and his driver (the two-man chariot), covered with bronze, scale armor and using a composite bow with a range of up to 250 meters or so, could maneuver into position to fire at an enemy on foot while being virtually invulnerable to infantry. Most infantry did not have composite bows, and could not get close enough to the chariots to fire back with their simple bows. Generally, only chariots could counter other chariots. Egyptian reliefs of the Battle of Kadesh (circa 1275 BCE) depict three men in Hittite chariots: one driver, one shield holder, and one spear carrier. Some people believe that this means the Hittites used these chariots as a sort of jousting platform. Others think this unlikely, and that the depiction may have more to do with Egyptian propaganda that with reality.


Where did samson kill philistines?

Samson lived in the latter part of the time of the judges. Samson was a judge. (not a judge like we have today, but a judge in that time period delivered Israel out of the hand of their enemies and brought them closer to God.) We are told in Judges 16:4b "....... that He (God) was seeking an occasion to move against the Philistines. For at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel". God raised up Samson to incite war against the Philistines. The Philistines had taken over parts of Israel and were treating the people very badly. God wanted this to stop. Samson was the first Judge to encounter the Philistines. It was not until the time of David that the Philistines were defeated badly enough to stop being a power against Israel. Samson's basic area of war against the Philistines was Zorah, which was in the territory of the Tribe of Dan. If you will recall it was David as a lad before he became King who took his sling and 5 smooth pebbles (Rocks) and put one between the eyes of Goliath who was a mercenary of the Philistines.
