King Hezekiah's Water System (Two recent excavations uncover ancient water systems)

Such a massive enterprise, archeologists deduce, could only have been a project undertaken by the kingdom of Judah, and it must have been used by the inhabitants of the nearby biblical town of Suba. The dig showed that the water system fell into disuse in the 7th and 6th centuries BCE, although the reservoir-cave below was still being used for its water. During the Persian and Hellenistic periods the cave was still partially being used, but was eventually completely abandoned in the 2nd century BCE.

Thanks. Same goes for the Hyksos story, also posted tonight.

I have just heard the name King Hezekiah talked about by so many different pastors etc, in the past few weeks. I just think this is interesting.....
