Archaeology on the United Monarchy of David

[pevaquark (Matthew Pevarnik)]

Probably a small chiefdom, sparsely inhabited, no united monarchy, etc. Really, this is a bit of hocus pocus and these individuals should familiarize themselves with the academic literature a lot more, a whole set of it offering verifiable archaeological data that indicates that in the time of David, the north and south of Israel was united into a single kingdom. That is to say, there’s a probable chance that the United Monarchy is historical.

Would you say that there are other parts of the Old Testament that are unanimously ahistorical? It’s interesting to discuss the extent of David’s kingdom, but it seems as if the ship of the historical entire Old Testament has sailed.
