#30 Was David a real person in history? (Part 1: David and Goliath) - a podcast by Has it crossed your mind?

The great rivals of the Israelites - the Philistines. Who were they? Where did they come from? Today we discuss some world history of around the time of 1000 BC: ranging from China to India and through to the bronze age collapse for the many kingdoms of Mesopotamia and the ancient Mediterranean. We speak about how this collapse an the invasion of the sea people pushing through Egypt and across the sea effected the Israelites - as it brought about one of the most well known people in all of history...  Goliath! We speak about the man who faced up to him, David, and how he come to kingship.
