Sefer Shemuel I: Archaeology
This video is part of the Sefer Study series.
This is an analysis of the Archaeology of the Sefer by Nachliel Selavan.
Archaeology Snapshot is a discussion on the location, timeline, main characters and highlights from history and archaeology, for each Sefer in Tanach.
Sefer Shemuel I deals with the transition from Iron Age 1 into Iron Age 2 - the period of the Monarchy (from King David, more or less, onward). The highlights of this episode are the location of Shiloh, the battle of Even ha’Ezer (Ebenezer), the Philistines, and the death of Shaul and Yehonatan on Mount Gilboa.
