A team of archaeologists have uncovered a 3,200-year-old lost city that was once a refuge of the biblical King David.  The excavated site lies in Khirbet a Rai in the Philistine city of Ziklag.  In the Bible,  Dsvid seeks refuge in Ziklag after fleeing from the Kingdom of Israel and the rule of King Saul.

Later,  after Saul's death,  David becomes king in Hebron and is granted rule over Ziklag.  In the Book of Joshua and the Book of Samuel,  Ziklag is described as belonging to the Philistines,  a group of people believed to hsve come from the Mediterranean.


They controlled much of present day central and southern Israel.
The excavation of the site began in 2015 and has yielded plenty of archaeological relics fromthe time the city was inhabited,  including bowls and pots.

Yosef Garfinkel,  professor at the Hebrew University,  displays pottery vessels were directed by Prof.  Yosef Garfinkel,  of Hebrew University and Prof.  Kyle Keimer from Macquarie University in Sydney,  Australia.

'The name Ziklag is unusual in the lexicon of names in the Land of Israel,  since it is not local Canaanite Semitic professor Garfinkel said in a news release.  ' it is a Philistine name,  given to the town by an alien population of immigrants from the Aegean'.

According to the Bible,  Ziklag was ransacked and burnrd by a group of desert nomads called the Amalekites.
