       The History of King David
       In Light of New Epigraphic and Archeological Data

       Newswise — In two articles recently published in leading
       journals (Ugarit Forschungen and Semitica), Prof. Gershon Galil
       of the University of Haifa (Department of Biblical Studies)
       presented important information about the period of David’s
       reign, based on new archaeological and epigraphic data unearthed
       in northwestern Syria and southern Turkey....
       “The inscriptions of Ramesses III, king of Egypt (1182-1151 BC),
       indicate that he conquered cities in northern Syria and seized
       control of “the lands of Plst.” However, hitherto there was no
       evidence that Philistines had lived in northern Syria, so
       scholars assumed that the Egyptian scribes exaggerated,
       describing places which didn’t really exist,” ....
       Prof. Galil adds that a few inscriptions form a direct link
       between the archeological and epigraphic data unearthed in
       northern Palistin and the Bible: Some open with the words “I am
       Tai(ta) the Hero, King of Palistin.” Given our philological and
       historical knowledge, it’s clear that Tai(ta) should be
       identified with Toi, mentioned in the Book of Samuel and in
       Chronicles,” he says.
