The Search for King David

We are all familiar with the heroic deeds of the gladiators of ancient Rome. But did you know the Bible records a gladiatorial-style contest in the early history of the Israelite kings? It pitted a heavily armed giant, equipped with the latest fighting gear, against a simple shepherd armed only with a sling and a stone. The story sounds highly improbable. Was it true? Even though David was one of the most famous kings of ancient Israel, many historians and Bible critics rejected the Bible stories as myths. Many said King David didn’t really exist. Was he just a mythical hero? Join us as we search for evidence of King David.
