UMMMMMMMmmm no.

It STATES it was at the time of DAVID go to the site posted in #13 and read it.

“What he has found so far has impressed many. Two burned olive pits found at the site have been tested for carbon-14 at Oxford University and were found to date from between 1050 and 970 B.C., exactly when most chronologies place David as king. Two more pits are still to be tested.”

Yes. The article makes an indefensible claim that the site is Davidic because current chronology places David at the same time as the olive pit.

There’s nothing at the site to prove the chronology is correct, just a coincidence of dating with the current understanding. There’s not even anything to prove definitively that the site was indeed Hebrew, and not Canaanitic.
