| Summary: | Garfinkel, Ganor, and Keimer 's ongoing excavations at Khirbet er-Ra'i have revealed a significant Iron I settlement with Philistine pottery and a small Early Iron IIA settlement. In light of this, and their analysis of the biblical sources, Garfinkel and Ganor propose that Khirbet er-Ra'i matches the historical-geographical details for Ziklag. This paper will challenge this identification and suggest a possible alternative ancient name for Khirbet erRa'i in light of the writings of Eusebius and existing Arabic toponyms in the vicinity. |
