But no certain archaeological finds from the period of his reign or of the kingdom he ruled over have ever been uncovered--until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this groundbreaking 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 eleventh and early tenth century BCE--surrounded by massive fortifications with impressive gates and a clear urban plan, as well as an abundance of finds that tell us much about the inhabitants. Discussing the link between the Bible, archaeology, and history \u003cem\u003eIn the Footsteps of King David\u003c\/em\u003e explains the significance of these discoveries and how they shed new light on David's kingdom. The topic is at the center of a controversy that has raged for decades, but these findings successfully challenge scholars disputing the historicity of the Bible and the chronology of the events recounted in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yosef Garfinkel, Saar Ganor, Michael G.
