Hardback. Condition: New. King David is a pivotal figure in the Bible, which provides stirring accounts of his deeds, including the slaying of the Philistine giant Goliath and the founding of his capital in Jerusalem. However, no certain archaeological finds from the period of his reign or of the united kingdom he ruled over have been uncovered - until now. In this first-hand and highly readable account, the excavators of Khirbet Qeiyafa in the Valley of Elah, where the Bible says David fought Goliath, reveal how seven years of exhaustive investigation have uncovered a city dating to the time of David - the late 11th and early 10th century bc - surrounded by massive fortifications with impressive gates, a clear urban plan and an abundance of finds that tell us much about the inhabitants, including a pottery sherd with the earliest known Hebrew inscription. The authors clearly describe the methods of the excavation and the evidence they discovered, as well as how we interpret it. But more than just a simple excavation report, this book also explains the significance of these discoveries and how they shed new light on David's kingdom, as well as discussing the link between the Bible, archaeology and history. This topic is at the centre of a decades-long controversy, with some scholars disputing that the Bible contains a record of historical events and people, an approach that is convincingly challenged here.

Hardcover. Condition: New. The ancient fortified site of Khirbet Qeiyafa, which overlooks the valley where David fought Goliath, was the focus of archaeological investigation between 2007 and 2013. As they explain how their work contributes to debate over the Bible's historicity and chronology, the city's excavators describe discoveries ranging from its impressive gates and urban plan to small models of temples and a pottery sherd bearing the earliest known Hebrew inscription.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 324 pages; 21 × 31 cm., hard cover. Numerous colour illustrations. Khirbet Qeiyafa is a 2.3 hectare site surrounded by massive fortifications of megalithic stones that still stand to a height of 2 3 m. It is on the summit of a hill on the north side of the Elah Valley. This is a key strategic location in the biblical Kingdom of Judah, on the main road connecting Philistia and the Coastal Plain to Jerusalem and Hebron in the hill country. The excavations unearthed, for the first time in the archaeological research of Israel, a fortified city in Judah from the late 11th early 10th centuries BCE. The planning of the city includes the casemate city wall and a belt of houses abutting the casemates and incorporating them as part of the construction. This is a typical feature of planning in the biblical Kingdom of Judah and is known at Beth-Shemesh, Beersheba and other sites. Khirbet Qeiyafa is the earliest known example of this plan and indicates that this pattern had already been developed in the time of King David. The outstanding discovery of the 2008 excavation season was an ostracon, a pottery sherd bearing an inscription, uncovered near the western city gate. This inscription clearly indicates that writing was indeed practiced in Judah during the late 11th early 10th centuries BCE. Historical knowledge could have been documented then and preserved for generations.
