Jeremiah 47:4 KJV 4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.

Amos 9:7 KJV 7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

Caphtor was the ancient name for “Crete”

Caphtor was Cyprus, not Crete.

From the cobwebby recesses of the hard drive, KJV:
(KJV) In Genesis 10:14 the Philistim (presumably Philistines) are said to come from Casluhim, or possibly Pathrusim and Casluhim; in Deuteronomy 2:23 "the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor" destroyed Avims of Hazerim; in Jeremiah 47:4 the Philistines are described as "the remnant of the country of Caphtor"; in Amos 9:7 has "the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir".
