Hi, I'm John Stone Street with The Point this week. We're taking a look back at some of the most important

commentaries from the past year.

Recently, Scholars announce another breakthrough discovery having to do with Israel's King David.

Demesha Steely, a nearly 3,000-year-old Moabite artifact, has long divided

historians, particularly a section that some claim to refer to Moab's victory over the House of

David, and others think refers to the Moabite King Balik.

Recently, however, researchers Andre Lammer and Jean-Philippe Delorme

examined composite images of both the steely and a paper mask once used to preserve it.

Three deeply faded letters, they argue in a recent paper, conclusively make the case that it refers to the House of David.

Well, much like other discoveries like the Tel-Dan inscription, the John Ryland's papyrus, and the Pool of Salome,

archaeology continues to reveal one of the Bible's distinctives.

It's not merely a religious book.

It's an account of human history, an amazing amount of detail. It's not just true for you and not for me.

In fact, the more we dig, the more we learn that it matches reality.

For the Coulsonson, I'm John Stone Street with the point.
