Although King David is a pivotal figure in biblical history, no certain archaeological finds from the period of his reign or of the kingdom he ruled over had ever been uncovered until just a few years ago. In this illustrated book, the excavators of Khirbet Qeiyafa in the Valley of Elah—where the Bible says David fought Goliath—reveal how seven years of investigation have uncovered a city dating to the time of David. In discussing this important discovery, they also compare it rigorously to what the Bible records about the king and his era.
