For the past 30 years, certain scholars have discredited the Solomonic dating of the famous six-chambered gate at Tel Gezer, saying it was built after his time.

On today’s program, host Brent Nagtegaal takes you on a tour of Gezer, highlighting the latest evidence supporting Solomonic-period construction.
