Jackson, Miss., Dec 18, 2014 \/ 04:14 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- New archaeological evidence about Israel and Judah at the time of King David and King Solomon undermines some skeptics who claim that biblical accounts are wrong to say the time period was advanced enough to have an organized state.<\/p>\n

\tJimmy Hardin, associate professor at Mississippi State University\u2019s Department of Anthropology and Middle Eastern Cultures, said that the find of six official clay seals dating to the 10th century B.C. \u201clends general support to the historical veracity of David and Solomon as recorded in the Hebrew biblical texts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe find took place at Khirbet Summeily, a dig site east of Gaza in southern Israel. The clay seals, known as bullae, were used to stamp official documents.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cOur preliminary results indicated that this site is integrated into a political entity that is typified by elite activities, suggesting that a state was already being formed in the 10th century B.C.,\u201d said Hardin, co-director of the Hesi Regional Project engaged in the archaeological work.<\/p>\n

\tHardin\u2019s findings have been published in the December 2014 issue of Near Eastern Archaeology, Mississippi State University said. The article says that the material culture of the site, in aggregate, shows \u201ca level of political-economic activity that has not been suspected recently\u201d during the time period.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cSome text scholars and archaeologists have dismissed the historic reliability of the biblical text surrounding kings David and Solomon, such as recorded in the Bible in the books of Kings and Second Samuel,\u201d Hardin said.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe fact that these bullae came off of sealed written documents shows that this site \u2013 located out on the periphery of pretty much everything \u2013 is integrated at a level far beyond subsistence,\u201d he added. \u201cYou have either political or administrative activities going on at a level well beyond those typical of a rural farmstead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe bullae do not have writing. They appear to be the only known bullae from the 10th century, he said.<\/p>\n

\tHardin said researchers chose the dig site to try to determine the differences between Philistia and Judah and why there was a border in the area at the time.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe're trying to learn what was the process by which these political entities were created. Within that larger question, you have a number of questions about whether the archaeological record matches the historical record from the texts, and if it disagrees, how do we reconcile the two,\u201d he said.
