1. You still doubt King Davids kingdom & rule?
Petra ,   usa   (10.30.08)
Keep digging you'll be convinced. The bible is the proof of what you need to verify.

Hope there are many like you. Your parents are special, as yourself are. Gosh, we generally only hear of the lower than mediocre youngsters and their superficial interests ( mostly they're the same interests as their parents).

4. This is a Canaanite text not Hebrew!

Canaanites are Arabian people by the way!
5. Keep digging....

Document our history.
6. #4 - more fabricated history
Ze'ev ,   Haifa   (10.30.08)
7. # 4. It's Hebrew. Canaanite letters look like hieroglyphics

8. Re #4 Canaanites are not Arabs!
Andu ,   New York   (10.30.08)
The Arab people come from where? The Arabian Peninsula, and didn't much venture out until Mohammed got them all riled up! Canaanites aren't yours. You have your own heritage, you don't need to try to steal ours.
9. there are rumers that king David's ring embeded in pottery
(10.30.08)
Hurry up Garfinkel!, it's less than 24 hr for Shabbat. A ring can cost a lot more than that hogwash.
10. Andu, of course Canaanites are Arabians
(10.30.08)
Don't mix, Arabs, with Arabians, with Muslims. Islam spread out from the Arabian Peninsula... Canaanites are Arabian tribes who moved to the Levant long time ago. Finally, Arab means Arabic speaking. Palestinians are not necessarily from Mecca and Medina but are from the lineage of those aho inhabited Palestine irrespective of their previous religions and languages. This is the natural thing as every other place in the word, particularly the ancient world.
11. "Canaanites are Arabian tribes"
More tripe   (11.25.08)
Don't change the subject to your Palestinians. Many Canaanites assimilated into the Israelite tribes until they were no more in the Land of Israeli proper by the late 9th century BCE. This renders The Jewish pepole quite Arabian then, like it or not.
