| FOA Webinar: David, Solomon, and Rehoboam’s Kingdom on Sept. 19 |
The next webinar in our monthly series is on September 19, at 4:30 pm EDT, featuring Prof. Yosef Garfinkel and "David, Solomon, and Rehoboam’s Kingdom—The Archaeological Evidence." Since 2007, four sites in the Judean Shephelah were investigated: Khirbet Qeiyafa, Khirbet el-Ra‘i, Socoh, and Lachish. The data collected from Khirbet Qeiyafa and Khirbet el-Ra‘i provided sweeping and cutting-edge data on the early part of the 10th century BCE, the time of King David. New evidence from Lachish forces us to reconsider theories about the date of its fortification by King Rehoboam. Join us for this deep dive into some of the most exciting new finds at sites across the biblical kingdom of Judah. Register and pay here. Price is $5 for ASOR members and $10 for non-members. All proceeds will support membership scholarships and online resources.
