New Lachish Find Adds Fuel to the Debate: Is the Bible Accurate?

“The find of 10th-century BCE fortifications of Lachish supports the Bible but not all archaeologists are convinced. …Traditionalists, also referred to as maximalists, claim the Biblical descriptions of a complex and powerful Davidic Kingdom based in Judea in the 10th-century BCE are accurate. Critics of the Biblical account referred to as the minimalist school, say that King David was a much less influential character in history and the Kingdom of Judah only began to extend its rule over the region in the 9th-century BCE.” - BIN
