“Yesteryear's scholars who touted the Bible as a factually accurate account of the David and Solomon story may be vindicated.”
Best line from the National Geographic article, “Kings of Controversy,” about digs and debates among archaeologists regarding the reign—and even existence—of David and Solomon. The article will give you some introduction to how (1) the science of archaeology moved from trust in the Bible as a reliable source of history to (2) deep skepticism that anything in its pages could be true to (3) a re-evaluation today of how well-founded that skepticism ever was.
