Digging for Truth Episode 127: King David's Fortified City of Khirbet Qeiyafa

Even though he is mentioned by name over 1000 times in the Bible, some skeptics and minimalist scholars claim that King David never existed, or, if he did exist, he had just a few hundred followers and controlled only a small territory. Archaeologist Dr. Michael Hasel joins us to talk about the fortified city of Khirbet Qeiyafa from the time of David. Dr. Hasel was one of the Directors of the Qeiyafa excavations from 2007 to 2013.
