Abstract

The author discusses the importance of the House of David inscription discovered at the archaeological site Tel Dan in Israel. Difficulties in connecting archaeological evidence with the King David of the Hebrew Bible are examined, including lack of information and site contamination. The author explores questions which can be answered using available archaeological data, including those involving ancient Israelite town planning.
