During this episode of the Red-Haired Archaeologist® Podcast, learn about the extrabiblical evidence of David and Solomon, including the Tel Dan Stele and Solomon’s “great” cities of Megiddo, Hazor, and Gezer. Then consider the differences between what Scripture says about the first Temple and the Queen of Sheba and how other traditions have influenced our interpretations.
