Descrição:

Moses and the Exodus Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence by Gerard Gertoux

The excavations at Tell Qeiyafa (the camp enclosure of 1Samuel 17:20?) have identified the city Shaaraim which was inhabited until the reign of David (1Ch 4:31; 1Sa 17:52). The end of this city has been dated -1010 +/- 40 by C14 through olive pits found in the site. Not only does this town date back from the time of David but these excavations have also unearthed a Hebrew inscription (opposite figure), which reads:

[... your neigbour?]
1) do not exploit and serve G[od]. Despised by
2) the judge, and the widow cried, he had power
3) over the foreign resident and the child he suppressed together. 4) Men and leaders have made a king.
5) Devoting <sixty> servants among the generations.

As noted Puech, this text describes a situation identical to that of the biblical text when the elders of Israel asked Samuel to enthrone a king (Saul) in order to replace his sons who became corrupt judges (1Sa 8:1-5). The first (readable) line implicitly refers to a well known passage of the Law of Moses: do not exploit your neighbour (Lv 19:13).

Qeiyafa Ostracon Relates the Birth of the Kingdom of Israel, Gerard Leval Investigates the Inscription from Khirbet Qeiyafa, Biblical Archaeology Society Staff, May 07, 2012

Gerard Leval analyzes the view that the Qeiyafa Ostracon refers to the formation of the Kingdom of Israel. Following the scholarship of Émile Puech, Leval suggests that the find from Khirbet Qeiyafa describes the coronation of Saul or David.
