The most extraordinary site where one can feel the merging of biblical text
with biblical archaeology is Jerusalem's City of David National Park.
Although identified in the mid 19th century, many answers to biblical riddles
still lay locked beneath its soil. Only recently, the Davidic palace foundations
were discovered in a pre-existing Canaanite structure, illuminating the verse
"David took the [Canaanite] stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David"
(II Samuel 5:7). As one stands in this spot and gazes at the mountains in all
directions, King David's words come to life: "As the mountains are round about
Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people, from this time forth and for
ever" (Psalms 125:2). Now you can walk in David's footsteps with City of David
Jewelry. Each breathtaking piece is designed from inspirations of actual
archaeological findings in the Biblical city.
