KING DAVID
Since archaeologists could not find any trace of King David in their
excavations in Israel, many serious historians doubt that he ever existed. Yet
his life has been written up in the Bible in such detail and even full of
criticism, especially since it was rich in his involvement with many women,
that it sounds true and not invented. Rather his successor Salomon in all his
wisdom and hi gh honour feels like a person from a legend. There is,
however, one written document referring to ‘the House of David’. It is an
inscription on a standing stone, found in the North of Israel and which lists
the victories and defeats of kings from the time of David.
