Title: Ziklag identified
Post by: Dave Beatty on July 08, 2019, 05:15:10 PM
Archaeologists say they have discovered the Philistine town of Ziklag where the future King David and 600 of his men hid out from Saul (1 Samuel 27:6 through 2 Samuel 2:2, 1 Chronicles 12:19 etc).

Prior to this some dozen sites were proposed as candidates.
