 Hebrew University excavations strengthen dating of archaeological findings to David, Solomon
The late, famed Hebrew University archaeologist Prof.Yigael Yadin argued more than 40 years ago that a series of monumental structures — and particularly the city gates of Hazor, Megiddo and Gezer as well as certain palaces at Megiddo — were founded by Solomon, corroborating the text in I Kings 9:15.
Amihai Mazar of the Hebrew University, Dr. Hendrik Bruins of Ben-Gurion University, and Prof.
Thus, these results provide a new foundation for the traditional view concerning the attribution of occupation strata and buildings at Tel Rehov (and conjunctively other locales in the region) to the time of the United Monarchy of Solomon and David, and negates the view that all these finds should be dated to the 9th century.
