Abraham Isaac and Jacob were promised the land of Canaan

When Abraham Isaac and Jacob were promised the land of Canaan that actual name does not come up much. They were after all spending time in the land of the Philistines –mainly in Gerar which I think is drop above Netivot. But I might be wrong and in might be right at Netivot. But you also get a promise to Jacob that all these lands which you have been dwelling in will be an everlasting inheritance to your decedents. But interestingly enough the covenant between the Parts where Abraham was promised the ten nations, the philistines were not included. The main reason that the land of the philistines is included in Israel I that it is within the borders defined in Numbers 34. That area however was never conquered by Irael. The Philistines in fact were never conquered until Rome sent Scipio Africanus to finish them off at Carthage. (The Philistines were part of the same nation with the capitol at Carthage)
