Is it possible to link urban planning in ancient Judah with the Bible’s most famous king? That is what Hebrew University Professor Yosef Garfinkel has done in a new academic paper, “Early City Planning in the Kingdom of Judah: Khirbet Qeiyafa, Beth Shemesh 4, Tell en-Nasbeh, Khirbet ed-Dawwara, and Lachish V.”
On today’s program, host Brent Nagtegaal talks with Professor Garfinkel at Hebrew University about the evidence linking David’s kingdom to a simultaneous building program discovered in ancient Judah.
