Week3

   David, real or not! Seriously, the story of David and Goliath is epic. Its in the Bible but has been made into a classic story of the small destroying the big guy. Even I knew the story. I didn't even know there was more to David than just that story of him as a child (to be honest I didn't know that was a Bible story). But David was a King of Jerusalem supposedly during the 9th c. I say supposedly because there actually hasn't been archaeological evidence found to support he ever existent. However there is a lot of righting of him in the Bible. He said in the Bible to be a great warrior also was depicted as a righteous man. Also there is a City of David in Jerusalem.
   So supposedly also David wanted to make a temple for God and a house for himself, but God told him not to. God told David that he was not to build them, Davids son was to build them. God said He would make the temple and thus the rule of David would go on forever, and his line would never die. Davids son Solomon supposedly built Solomon's Temple that had the room Holy of Holies which houses the Ark of the Covenant. However, all though all of this is mentioned in the Bible in great detail, there is once again no archaeological evident of Solomon and Solomon's Temple that was supposedly destroyed. All very strange.
