Achish in film

I have not seen the film nor am I completely familiar with the story it draws inspiration from, but the word "absurdly" is far from a neutral description. The word "inexplicably" is adequate if it corresponds to the fact that there indeed is no explanation as to why the movie departs from the facts of the Bible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashrawi (talk • contribs) 09:42, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Seriously now, how much apocryphal rubbish can one fit in a single article? Abysmally poor. JD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.88.182.201 (talk) 05:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Achish in Israeli popular culture

This section seems bogus, I removed it. I've lived in Israel all my life and have never heard of the expression "Beveiti ko lo naim, kol male meshuga'im". Google doesn't return any results when searching for it in Hebrew ("בביתי כה לא נעים, כל מלא משוגעים"), and actually it's not even proper Hebrew ("kol" should be "kulo").

Ikausu

This is the name of a Philistine king of Ekron as attested in multiple inscriptions. many scholars tie him to the Achish mentioned in the Bible. Currently Ikausu is a redirect to here. But the short description of this page is for a "biblical character". My question is should the material on Ikausu continue to be added here? Or should Ikausu become its own page. Or should this page be renamed and/or its short description changed? What are people's thoughts? Tiamut (talk) 18:26, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
