3,000-year-old artifacts dating back to the time of King David, were recently unearthed in an archaeological excavation of the ancient Judean border town, Khirbet Qeiyafa, overlooking the valley where David slew Goliath.

What makes this recent find so significant?  For the first time worship artifacts have been discovered that confirm the religious practices of David’s day.  The absence of animal and human figurines – characteristic of pagan worship – plus clearly identifiable motifs not only bring clarification to obscure biblical terminology but highlight the historical accuracy of the Bible.  Their discovery in special rooms built into the walls of the city is evidence that honouring God had a prominent place in David’s day.
