To link this pottery to the reign of King David is pure speculation, since no pottery or other cultural strata linked to any Hebrew king prior to Omri has been established.

You are being very negative. You act like all discoveries have been made. Many archeological discoveries have proven the Bible on a number of occasions. Like the city of Ninevah discovery. All the egghead naysayers like you said the city did not exist. They said the same about Jericho as well. Of course the time line might be in question but the Bible is slowly being proven to be historically acurate, particularly regarding places and general history.

Poo pooers like you are gonna keep on denying facts in the Bible. But so far given time it is slowly being proven by archeology. Why don't you actually think and consider that things that happen in the past if there is physical eveidence can take a long time to find or discover.? Why dont you perhaps keep an open mind and let the research be done before making such idiotic statements?

And another thing. The Arabs and Palestinians to this day claim Jews never had any history in palestine. this discovery refutes that ridiculous belief.

The world needs to catch up to the Bible not the other way around.

The Bible has never been falsified, properly understood; but it is important to remember that it is not either a straightforward history or geology text in the modern senses of those words.

I believe that David did rule around 1000 B.C., and that the Temple was dedicated around 970 B.C.

But these discoveries don’t prove either of those things; they just happen to be the closest thing to physical evidence discovered in the last 2000 years that either of those events happened.

The truth of the Bible is not going to be proven by archaeology: for the skeptical no amount of evidence would suffice, and for the faithful none is necessary.
