		The lower wall was originally built in the LB IIB, sometime in the 13th century B.C. What caused this wall to go out of use is unclear from the data available in the probe, although a 10th century surface halfway up this wall indicates that it remained in use until the middle of that century.

	8TH Century Prophets, Caring for Nobodies (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As the question of the prophets of the eighth century and their concern for the people (especially the nobodies) that everybody except God had forgotten is considered, it is hoped that an awareness of the both the covenantal and ethical problems present at the time will be highlighted.
		It was obvious to the prophets that the nobodies of the society had been forgotten by the society in general and as passages like Amos 5:11, Micah 2:2 and Isaiah 5:8 point out the rich had trampled upon the poor, coveting their fields, evicting the widows and their children, selling them into slavery.
		It can be said then in conclusion, that the prophets of the eighth century were concerned primarily for the people and especially for the victims of the power structure of society.
