"Archaeologists in Israel believe that they have discovered the remains of a palace built by the Biblical King David.
It is the first time that archaeologists have found a monumental building thought to be associated with him. This discovery, together with other finds from this site, is likely to transform the academic world's understanding of early Israelite history...
The discoveries are important because they seem to confirm an important element of the biblical account of Israelite history: that state formation and urbanisation began in the Jerusalem area in about 1000 BC that is, in the period traditionally associated with King David." (Church Times)
