Excavation within the fortified city of Khirbet Qeiyafa
offers physical evidence corroborating the OT’s account of the reign of King
David. A new book, Footsteps of King
David in the Valley of Elah, contends that three rooms at the site served
as shrines, around 1000 BC, and that the evidence indicates worship at those
sites was monotheistic and occurred in the absence of graven images of either
humans or animals. Judaism was distinctively Judaism, then, that
early.
I have nothing really to say about this, but it gives me the excuse to use the following striking image.
