This account of ancient history is antiquated, and it assumes the Bible is historical. It has a lot of inventions. Most historians and even some Israeli archaeologists now dispute that King David or his kingdom ever existed as such. Please don't engage in quoting an otherwise good book for this. Khalidi's "All That Remains" is a reliable source on destroyed villages, but not for this issue.
Nice post which this ages many people are adapting the changing phase of living . In which until now we are adopting the trends in society and the environment we are living in. Thanks a lot for posting this article.
