from: Israel Finkelstein / Neil A. Silberman: The Bible unearthed. Archeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts; The Free Press, a division of Simon & Schuster, Inc., 2001; German edition has got the title "No trombones before Jericho" (orig. German: "Keine Posaunen vor Jericho"): edition C.H.Beck oHG, Munich 2002;

Here in this analysis is used the German version "Keine Posaunen vor Jericho" of DTV, Munich 2004, second edition of 2005. All page indications refer to the German version. I hope the page numbers are not very different.

The book of Judges with it's events about the alleged kings Saul, David, and Solomon consists of reminders to local fights and is describing heroes in form of epic poems, folktales (p.137) and myths (p.151).

According to the book of Judges king David and Solomon are said having ruled from 1005 to 930 B.C. approximately (p.145). Historicaly there cannot be proved anything. Eventually hero stories of former times are mixed within (p.137). But the book of Richter is presenting excellent geographical descriptions of the landscape which has hardly changed until today (p.151).

[Geographic precisino shall give the impression that also the historic connectsions could be true].

The stories of the book of Judges shall serve as a "lesson" to the population of Judah in 7th century B.C. after the ruin of the North Reich Israel (p.137-138), and the situations and stories can be interpreted directly to situation in 7th century B.C. (p.138).


The book of Judges states an alleged cult between "sin" and rescue

OT claims:

-- Israeli population lived in a repeated rhythm of sin, punishment by god and salvage (book of Judges 2,11-19)

-- by the installation of kingdoms this repeated rhythm of "sin", punishment and salvage is said having been broken (book of Judges, 21,25)

-- the relation between Israelites and God always is said having been in danger, this interpretation is arbitrarily made by the authors

-- God is said having done the Israelites into the hands of their enemies because of disloyalty, so the Israelites will beg for help with God, and then the Israelites are said having regeretted and God is said having saved the Israelites resp. having helped to victories over their enemies

-- this is a religious cycle with alliance - promise - disloyalty - regret - salvation which is always repeated

-- it seems that the situation of the kingdom of Judah was similar in the 7th century so there were many hopes for a salvation (p.137).


OT: Alleged destruction of all other faith groups as a condition for a salvation

[and this is a total religious racism].

OT claims:

-- all other faith groups in the southern half of the alleged tribal territories shall have been destroyed fulfilling the will of God (p.138) resp. in the southern part all Canaanetes are said having been destroyed (p.168)

-- the alleged trials for an ethnic cleansing and mass murder in the northern part are said having failed all, and there shall have existed Canaanete enclaves (book of Judges, 1,21; 1,27-35) (p.138)

-- by this reason - because the other faith groups were not totally destroyed in the northern half - is said that the split North Reich of Israel had been destroyed later, and teh alleged later South Reich Judah is said having rated as the "better" Reich (p.138)

-- it's stated that in the northern part the Canaanetes have mixed with the Jewish tribes, and this shall be a sin which leads to the later foreign occupation of the northern part (p.168)

-- Bible describes that the South Reich Judah is stronger whereas the North Reich is stronger in fact (p.169).


OT: The faked king Saul

OT claims:

-- from an alleged tribe named Benjamin has come an alleged first ruling king Saul (p.140)

-- the alleged king Saul was the king of the alleged North Reich, and after a military defeat against the Philistines he is said having committed suicide (p.168)

-- Saul and his son Jonathan are said having been killed in the Philistine wars (p.151)

-- the Philistines are said having won the battle of Eben Ezer and are said having robbed the Ark of the Covenant (p.151)

-- then the northern tribes are said having proclaimed David (king of South Reich Judah) for the king of whole Israel (p.168).


OT: The faked king David - the faked culture of David

OT claims:

-- David is said having occupied Jerusalem in a hit-and-run style and is said having installed an own regency in this way (p.260)

-- then king David is said having made an alliance with God, and David is said having banned all foreign gods and is said having ordered the daily cult (p.138)

-- king David is said having defined Jerusalem as the single capital of the Jews (p.138)

-- kind Gadiv is said having defined a definite place for the Ark of the Covenant (p.138-139)

-- king David is said having ordered the tempel in Jerusalem so there was adorated only one single god (p.139)

-- David temple is said having been the key for the salvation of Israel and of the destruction of all other faith groups, and is said having benn the "key" for the stop of the negative events for Israel and for growing wealth (p.139)

-- the alleged king's palace in Jerusalem is said having been a mental hot spot

-- David, the son of Isai, is said having been anointed as the king of all tribes of Israel and by this the promise of God which was given to Abraham is said having been fulfilled (p.140)

-- David is said having been a fair-minded king and is said having represented a myth figure in the history of Israel (p.140).

King David is said having completed the "work" of ethnic cleansing and genocide which was begun under Joshua:

-- king David is said having occupied the rest of the land
-- king David is said having amplifyed the Reich to the frontier lines of Abraham [according to 1st book Moses, chapter 15, phrase 18: Nile and Euphrates as border lines]
-- king David is said having founded a famous Reich (p.161).

[And with this conquest and occupation and ethnic cleansing is connected "Star of David", and that's why Zionism is never giving up it's conquests against the Arabs, and that's why all Arab countries never will accept a "Jewish State" with the "Star of David" in it's flag. Also stupid journalists should see this connection].

This invented king David is described and gloryfied in many songs and stories.

OT claims:

-- king David is said having occupied Jerusalem and a big Reich
-- king David is said having hit Goliath with one single stone with a slingshot and killed him in this way
-- king David is said having reached to the court of the king playing harp in a skillfull way
-- king David is said having been a rebel and a pirate
-- king David is said having persecuted Bathseba in a lustful way (p.140)
-- king David is said having won many battles against the Philistine towns (p.151).


OT: the faked cult of Solomon

OT claims:

-- king Solomon is said having ruled from the Egypt frontier down to the Euphrates (p.182)

-- David's son Solomon is said having treated the northern tribes like colonized subjects, with high tax and compulsory service (p.168)

-- king Solomon is said (1st book of Kings 11,4-8) having seduced to "idolatry" by a foreign woman, to a cult for the goddess of Sidon, Astarte, and for the cult of the dreadful god of the Ammonites, Milkom (p.182), and king Solomon is said having accepted these cults then: the cults for god Milkom of the Ammonites, for the god Kamos of the Moabites (p.262), and for the goddess Astarte of the Sidonites (1st book of Kings, 11,5; 2nd book of Kings, 23,13) (p.263)

-- Solomon is said having sunk in "sin", according to 1st book of Kings 2,1-89 he is said having brought a harem of foreign women to Jerusalem (p.162)

-- and then (according to 1st book of Kings, 11,11-13) God is said having punished king Solomon with the split of the "Reich of Israel" (p.182).

Depsite of all David's son Solomon is said having been the king with the maximum of wisdom, and he is said having been a great building owner, and he is said having been able deciding sharp witted verdicts, and he is said having been very rich, and he is said having constructed the tempel of Jerusalem (p.140).


The readers of the Bible is presented a "Golden Age" of Israel under David and Solomon, but this is only a fake. The scholars partly believe in this yet today, and archeologic findings are classified to David Solomon story despite of all contradictions,without calling the story well into question (p.140).

The claims of the old scholars according to the Bible

-- Israeli settlements are said having grown under the kings of Saul, David, and Solomon
-- there is said that there were installed many centralized forms of organization
-- there is said that the danger by Philistine coastal towns has driven the development to an Israelite monarchy (p.141).


"Allocations" with much fantasy

-- the geological layers with the destructed Canaanite towns are allocated to the conquest under David (p.141)

-- the city gates and findings of the palace are generally allocated to the construction activity under an alleged king named Solomon (p.141).

In this way was performed archeology for centuries.
