Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth--The three sons of this patriarch are enumerated, partly because they were the founders of the new world, and partly because the fulfilment of Noah's prophecy (Ge 9:25-27) could not otherwise appear to have been verified.
This site's exposition
The sons of Ham
on 1 Chronicles 1:8-16
Here the list breaks for one clause of story: Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth. Everything around it is trimmed to names. The line runs on through Mizraim and Canaan, whose peoples fill the conquest narratives.
This site's exposition
from whom the Philistines came
The Philistines came from the Casluhites, as Genesis 10:14 says. Amos 9:7 brings the Philistines from Caphtor, and Jamieson, Fausset and Brown read the Philistines and Caphtorites as brother peoples who came from the Casluhites.

Casluhim (of whom came the Philistines), and Caphtorim--a better rendering is, "and Casluhim, of whom came the Philistim and Caphtorim." They were brethren, the sons of Casluhim, and at first dwelt together, whence their names are used interchangeably. The Caphtorim are described as inhabiting Azzah, or Gaza, the seat of the Philistines.
