Who this is
Palestina is the King James rendering of the Hebrew word for Philistia, the coastal territory of the Philistines along the southeastern Mediterranean. The term became attached to the wider region over the following centuries and is the ultimate source of the modern name Palestine, though in its Old Testament occurrences it refers specifically to Philistine land, which the prophets warn will share in judgment alongside Israel's other neighbors.
