Kingdom of David mythology
Share
|
Did the Kingdom of David, of Jewish,
Christian and Muslim tradition, exist? Outside biblical references,
there's little evidence. Israeli rcheologists, excavating KhirbetQeiyafa (KEER-bat KeeYAHfa), are claiming possible proof, omparing
Israelites to Canaanites and Philistines through food remnants,
shards, architecture, carved images and portable shrines, causing a
stir in media, reporting stories evidence of scripture as historical
document.
Aren
Maeir, Bar
Ilan University archaeologist, notes this is only evidence of the
formative rise of Judah, not the elaborate empire of legend. "Thefinds have not yet established who the residents were,” he said.
"There's no question that this is a very important site, but
what exactly it was — there is still disagreement about that.”
Even so, as recently as 2010, Gershon
Galil of the University
of Haifa identified Khirbet Qeiyafa as the “Neta’im” of
1 Chronicles
4:23, based primarily on findings of pottery, flat bread baking
and absence of pig bones.
