"Even though the “House of David” inscription has confirmed the essential historicity of King David from the Bible, scholars have reached little consensus about the nature and extent of his rule. Was David the great king of Biblical lore who founded his royal capital at Jerusalem and established an Israelite kingdom? Or was David a ruler of only a tribal chiefdom, as Israel Finkelstein of Tel Aviv University contends? Questions like these often arise from Biblical archaeology discoveries and lie at the heart of the complex relationships among archaeology, history and the Bible.

My understanding is that archaeology and history meet the Bible in the Kingdom of Judah ... roughly 900 BC ... of the Kingdom of Israel there is nothing, no evidence of such a state as described in the Bible ... this is generally seen as a land-grab by Judah and a mythology that someone else's land is actually Judah's ... exactly like Russia's claim on The Ukraine today ...

Yeah ... if David existed, then he was probably a two-bit petty warlord trying to pick up pieces after the Bronze Age Collapse ... just more successful than most ... like our good buddy V Putin ...

How do you define "legend"? ... this is generally thought to mean an exaggeration of a real person ... rather than mythology which is all made-up ... the logic here is they named the house after a real person named David ... although all we know is he got his butt kicked by his neighbor, though I don't remember that part in the Bible ...

Are you talking about a stray bit here and there ... or a robust and overwhelming load of evidence pervasive throughout the land? ... Egypt built pyramids, we prove this because there's a score of them for us to see today ... that's different from twenty Hebrew slaves proving 2.5 million crossed the Sinai ...

Ancient Jerusalem: The Village, the Town, the City

Ancient Jerusalem made such an enormous impact on Western civilization that it’s hard to fathom how small its population really was.

As it relates to the descendants of Manasseh. The American flag and the flag of the British Empire, the 'Union Jack' share some distinct characteristics: They are bold and colorful and share the same colors. Think brothers Ephraim and Manasseh, sons of Joseph, of the 'coat of many colors' legend.
