Kings David and Solomon Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence
Gérard GERTOUX

King of Palastin and King of Hamath

One must note that the existence of kings
who were contemporaries of David
(1057-1017) and Solomon (1017-977)
confirms the existence of the United
Monarchy in Israel as well as its
dating. For example Taita (1045-1000)
was a king of Palistin35 (a Syrian land
including Hamath and Aleppo) and
according to the Bible, as King of
Hamath he congratulated King David
when the latter defeated Hadadezer (in 1042 BCE) a king of Aram-Zobah (2Sa 8:5-10; 1Ch 18:9-10). The name Taita derived from the Hurrian word Taḫḫe.ta "of man", abbreviated as Taḫḫe which explains the T‘Y vocalization in Hebrew, because Taita is named either To‘î, To‘û or Thôa (Septuagint) in the Bible. Regarding the dating of Taita’sreign, a beam of Aleppo temple attributed to Taita36 has
been dated37 -1045 +/- 45 by 14C dating. Beside King Taita (opposite figure) appears the Hieroglyphic Luwian inscription: I, King Taita, the Hero, the King of [the land] Palistin (written Pelešet “Philistine” in Egyptian).
