King David’s Palace is uncovered archaeologists report

Fox New has reported that archaeologists in Jerusalem have uncovered two large buildings fit for a king-- Biblical King David, that is. Over the past year, archaeologists have excavated a site that they believe to be the fortified Judean city of Shaarayim, where David smote Goliath as described in the Bible.

"The ruins are the best example to date of the uncovered fortress city of King David," said professors Yossi Garfinkel of Hebrew University and Saar Ganor, who led the excavations. "This is indisputable proof of the existence of a central authority in Judah during the time of King David." Shaarayim, as it was called in the Bible, is thought to be the modern city of Khirbet Qeiyafa.

Garfinkel and Ganor identified one structure as David's palace and the other as an enormous royal storeroom. Hundreds of artifacts were found at the site including, stone tools, pottery vessels, seals and religious objects typical of the times.
