How many times have I heard that archaeology disproves the Bible. Yet the people who claim this can never site any examples.

Ziklag. What an interesting name.
It sounds like a brand name for something very durable.

Here's an excellent, comprehensive article from July 8:

As archaeologists say they’ve found King David’s city of refuge, a debate begins

Mere hours after team claims to have uncovered 3,000-year-old biblical town of Ziklag south of Jerusalem, two of their peers insist they most certainly have not...

Hah, there's always some broader meaning, specifically wrt a debate about why David couldn't possibly have been residing there. Some of the experts insist that it makes no sense.

All in the timing. Living parables through archaeological digs, love it.

I’ve often wondered what is the oldest still existing city from the Bible. The only one I can find is Ninevah.

Just a thought experiment.
